My...You are so right about putting names on photos. My mother would go through her trunk several times a year, telling me who all the people were. I tried to memorize the names since she refused to do so when I offered to get a pen or pencil. She was always tired and in a hurry. At one point before I was twelve, I remembered names she could not remember. If I were 11, she was 37, so it was not senility or old age...we all start forgetting names. <br /><br />So, I sat alone after the trunk was closed, sometimes at night in bed and recalled pictures and recounted to myself who was in the pictures. I was about 6 when I started doing this. I know that sounds like I was a strange little child...lol. Now, every photo of mine is labeled.<br /><br />Digital photos? Not so much labeling there.<br /><br />i have pictures that are not of my family that someone, someday, somewhere will try to search for family connections and try to put names to faces.

In going through all the ...I hear and second that!! In going through all the boxes at Dad's house, I'm finding scads and scads and more scads of unlabeled photos from Mom's and Dad's past. Friends from college, Army buddies, etc. I'll never have a clue who any of those people are now. Even when Dad was still alive this year, he couldn't remember, just that he sometimes recognized them (especially the pretty girls :) ). So I'm with Sluggy - please, everyone, write on the backs of your pictures so that information isn't lost!I'mSoPrettyhttp://ifartfairydust.comnoreply@blogger.com
