Well I made it though my shoulder surgery with no complications except a long recovery to get it back to full use again.  I want to thank all  those who have called and written me with words of encouragement and support.  I have managed to scan a series of nice aerial post cards that I recently purchased and will be posting them for the next few weeks as my photo of the week until I can get up to full speed again.  I am sure you all will really like this series.  They are all very nice and taken prior to the extensive widening that has taken place in the cut.  Hence, the canal all us Zonians remember.  These photos were taken by and post cards produced by Kevin Jenkins.

This weeks photo is titled:  "Two container vessels pass  each other in the Gaillard Cut (Chagres River in background) at the Panama Canal." No. 0014
