My brother was in Korea from Aug. 1966 to Aug. 1967 and took hundreds of photos, mostly of Seoul, Suwon, and Hwasung. I now have about 500 of his slides, some 150 of which I am getting developed into 20X30 prints. I am having them framed and taking them to museums in Suwon, Hwasung, and Seoul. If you are interested in seeing them (slides or photos), let me know... They truly are amazing. Robert,

On a lighter (hopefully not too tasteless) note, what's remarkable is that those big, yellow signs in the picture with your name on them stood intact during the quake!
