Old Cannons Lane Bridge

Posted February 18, 2008, by James McCray (jamesinslocomb [at] yahoo [dot] com)

Dear Mr. James,

My friend, Bob Fish, took the pictures of this bridge and I put his name as credit in the photos, but it still says my name in the update log. If you could change my name to his (Bob Fish) that would be great!

Thanks,

James
