This production is based on the on-site photographic session on 6 Feb 2013 of C. Wayne Austin. I was accompanied that day by my wife Linda Black Austin and our friends Nick & Trish Brewer Boone of Nashville TN. Trish is an Irvine descendent and she and I may be third great nephew & niece of Samuel McLean.
