Some of these photographs are uncredited at present, as I do not know who took them - I would love to credit the photographers, so any information would be much appreciated! Also, if anyone has pictures of Ron at any of the Cons he has attended and would like to put them up on 'Masks', please contact me - I would be delighted to do so! |
