Hello Bill again,
I have just noticed you have given Alfred Greatbatch some gloves! How great is that and his hand looks really good too. Funny thing is though when I really enlarged the original photo at home before posting it I thought he was wearing gloves - as his hands looked crinkly and I could see no finger nail. However I really love what you have done with his hands.
Thanks
Kate

When I enlarged the original photo to 1000 dpi it looked as if there was something darker in his right hand, and being a 'proper gent' it could possibly have been a pair of gloves.  ;)
