The beginning of the photo scans from my family collection.
Grandma and Grandpa



Grandpa



Dad and Friend



Why, Mom- who knew???




(I think this last photo is VERY cool- it's obviously a nursing school classmate and her goofing off for the camera. Mom's the one in white.)

--More will follow as I have time to process them properly.

2. Very cool.
I don't have any family pictures. I don't even think there are more than a very few, and I don't know who has them. :shrug:

3. I just discovered I was in possession of these a couple weeks back
There are many more to come (unless the Lounge gets utterly bored with my family).

6. Very nice. I enjoyed these old photos. My cousin sent me a couple and I'm going to scan them in.
Good work -- charming!

8. These are great! I love looking at other people's old photos
It still breaks my heart that my grandparent's house burned down, destroying boxes of old pictures.

I will be happy to see more of these.

10. They make me wish I could reach out and talk to them
There's so much forgotten life in those faces. Who were they? What were they like? What were their names? How were their lives?

Thanks for posting those. They're fantastic.

13. Grandma and Grandpa rock!
They look so happy and nice!
I have stacks on stacks of pictures I need to scan, it's just so frickin' daunting I don't know when I'll start it.
