I ended up using Foxit pdf editor to delete the page numbers and chapter name at top of each page. Then I used Abby Finereader 12 to convert to epub and then I used Sigil epub editor to make some adjustments to the epub. Finally I used an online converter to convert to mobi. Only problem is the captions for the pictures. I ended up just typing in the captions below the picture. The problem with this is - depending how the user adjusts the size of font on the Kindle - the captions could be separated from the picture, ie caption on the next page. The Abbyy program strangely put just 3 of the captions IN the picture at the bottom of the picture. (This occurred in captions: Ted Orange, Pops, Exit tunnel where Lucy came from.) This is good, but the font of the captions was too small and light. When the captions are part of the picture, then the captions cannot be separated from the picture if the user selects a large font. The ebook looks good on my Kindle Touch as long as I choose a normal size font.
The result is here:
