Bob - That's tragic. If I can recover all the images, would you be prepared to work with me to categorize them under their respective countries/makers? I think we need to preserve this as nothing like it exists anywhere else and it is important historical info. It will take a me a while to get all the images together and saved as individual files, but I think I can do it and am prepared to dedicate some time to it. If you are up for it, I'll send the images on to you once I have them all. 
Of course, Andy, I'd be happy to work with you on that. I'd want to put it on a more stable platform this time. Perhaps Google Drive and make it universally accessible. As I recall there were over 300 medallions on the blog, so it will be a big job.
