I recently found a number
of informal photos of the training, and these are now included as pages from a
photo album.

images, but left all the writing and edges.
You may feel free to use
these for educational purposes. However, if you wish to publish these you must
obtain our permission (griffinw@evangel.edu).

from the album which are in no particular order. We did not do tight cropping,
for there is some information on the edge of photos, and we were also not
willing to disassemble the album to scan it.
