One word "Goosebumps"

I like that you put the names, ages, and residence of the individuals who were lost. I lived at Amherstdale at the time of the flood. It is important to remember and your song with the video does a good job. I now teach at Man High School and we are planning a 40th anniversary remembrance of the flood to share with our students. We are want to put a picture with the name of those who were lost. The problem is getting the pictures so any help with this would be appreciated. Amy Lusk
