Cliff,
PLEASE I BEG you hold on to them. My cousin (God only knows how many times
removed) had a big box of such pictures. When I went to talk to her, she
said she had a picture of my grandmother. Granny weighed over 300 pounds her
entire adult life, and I had never seen a picture of her any other way. This
cousin had a picture of my 98 pound 18 year old grandmother in her
collection. But she also had some pictures of my mother as a small girl, and
she had no idea who the children were in the picture. My mother recognized
herself and three siblings immediately. Mom was able to identify about 15
pictures in this collection that would have been thrown away. They are very
valuable to me. <G> Somewhere out there, there is someone who may still know
who they are. :)
