| Three More Awards Earned |
| In January of 2007, Gary Lane, owner of Memory Lane Studio attended the annual convention of Senior Photographers International. At the folio convention, over the last few years, Gary had won several blue ribbons. All of them were for folios of senior girls. This time, was different. First of all, Gary took a chance by entering a folio which was completely Gothic of the senior girl, Jamie Delaney. Not only did that folio take a blue ribbon but so did the folio of the boy senior, Stu Amstutz. Even better, in an organization of approx. 1200 studios, the folio of Stu Amstutz earned him a plaque for Third Place Boys Class A competition overall. |
