<DIV>Actually, a "permanent" collection of pictures could be amassed, =
then
printed as a separate folio with one large calendar showing the whole =
year
attached. Or. vice versa as a lot of calendars are done, with one =
picture and
tear-off calendar months placed separately on the page. Done all the =
time, you
just have to find the right pictures and get a good printer. And start =
very
early in the year!</DIV>
