[Lnc-business] photos for LNC at LP.org

"The second-last one makes you look like an attorney, Wes. :)"

I haven't mentioned it yet this term, but I expect all LNC members to be
polite and civil to one another as well as to staff. Insults such as the
above will not be tolerated. ;)

On a serious note, if anyone on the board needs a professional headshot and
takes Wes's very good advice, send the receipt to Robert Kraus and I'll
approve the expense for up to $200.
