Full 2-page views---very blurry---stored in google drive:
Due to operator error caused by too much coffee and old-age-shakes, the full 2-page views are not useable, but I decided to store them in google drive area in case anyone wanted to see them anyway. Maybe in the future I will have an opportunity to upgrade these captures.
