 George,

     Just checked out the images that Bob had forwarded to NASA for you.
  Three VERY nice images.  A bright 1993 Perseid, another bright 1995 Perseid
  and "the faint streak is a sporadic meteor taken in 1995 in Descanso, CA".
  These images are on NASAs "Observatorium Image Gallery".  An ok site.
  However, speaking of things on the Web, all meteor-ites should check out the
  awesome Hubble U.K. Support Site (www.astdot cam.acdot uk/HST/press).  On this
  site (for those who haven't yet visited), among the 90+ Hubble shots
  publicly available, there are 2 spectacular HST comet photos (1 of
  Hale-Bopp, 1 of Hyakutake).  The HST Hale-Bopp photo is particularly
  remarkable.  It shows 2 aspects of comet behaviour in nice detail.  As the
  text reads ... "These NASA HST pictures of Comet Hale-Bopp show a remarkable
  'pinwheel' pattern AND a blob of free-flyin debris near the nucleus".  I did
  not know that comets can and/or do (??) move in a pinwheel motion as they
  barrel thru space.

  Joseph
