Thanks Tim.  It worked like a charm and saved me weeks of work using a drag and drop utility. About 250 pdf files created of 50 to 100 pages each.  Heres the code in case any one else can use it.

import os
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.utils import ImageReader

root = "C:\\Users\\Harry\\" 

try:
     n = 0
     for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(root):
          PdfOutputFileName = os.path.basename(dirpath) + ".pdf" 
          c = canvas.Canvas(PdfOutputFileName)
          if n > 0 :
               for filename in filenames:
                    LowerCaseFileName = filename.lower()
                    if LowerCaseFileName.endswith(".jpg"):
                         print(filename)
                         filepath    = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
                         print(filepath)
                         im          = ImageReader(filepath)
                         imagesize   = im.getSize()
                         c.setPageSize(imagesize)
                         c.drawImage(filepath,0,0)
                         c.showPage()
                         c.save()
          n = n + 1
          print "PDF of Image directory created" + PdfOutputFileName
           
except:
     print "Failed creating PDF"
