07/19/10 The pig picture was on an old t-shirt that was found stuffed under something when we moved offices. I cut the pig out and put it in an 8 x 10 frame that we had. I took a picture of it with my cell phone and emailed it to myself. Then I inserted the picture into a blank powerpoint and VOILA - The French Pig. (Sandy Poremba) Do we know who the original artist was? (Stan) I think it was Jill Warvel - a programmer from here. (Sandy Poremba)
