I took a look -- wow the last guy pictured has such a scowl -- wow, I bet he
was someone to deal with when he was alive !

Sounds like a good time to remind folks to pull out those unmarked photos you
have in drawers & boxes of your son, daughter, mother, father, aunt, uncle,
grandparents.... and get the identifiers put on!

I started last year on mine -- big job -- still not done. Got an archival
pen and carefully labeled the backs and put each in sleeves. It amazed me that
pictures *I* took that I had trouble remembering which year they had been
taken. Was my sister's house dedication in 1993 or 1994? Did Cousin Sue graduate
HS in 1988 or 1989? Now did grandpap start work at this company in 1952 or
1962 (no one to ask now!)?

This is a great idea for a summer project! You can set a goal to do 10
pictures every evening, and pretty soon you are done with a whole box!
