Sad that the family didn't want them. It would be neat to write a story based on these pics.

One wonders what happened and why. The photos are really lovely and I'm glad you rescued them even if you don't know them.

We scanned them onto our computers but still kept the originals. Guess it kind of defeats the whole purpose but we couldn't bear to get rid of them! So happy you found them and that they are being appreciated.<br /><br />~EricaThrifterSistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534524822325441476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715897712494065853.post-75662045448846836582015-05-19T09:25:08.649-04:002015-05-19T09:25:08.649-04:00It is unfortunate, but I guess that's life.

Broke my heart. I just hope it didn't end up at the landfill but instead ended up at a thrift or antique store and someone like you can appreciate it. Thankfully, my mother had made many copies of some of the pics so each of us kids could have our own but many were not copied so those ones are lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715897712494065853.post-66538914293746802822015-05-18T16:45:03.249-04:002015-05-18T16:45:03.249-04:00I never understood why there were so many family a...I never understood why there were so many family albums and other loose old photos at auctions. Didn't some family member want them?<br /><br />I can't tell you how many times at the Goodwill Outlet (giant bins of reject stuff from the regular stores that you have to dig through) that I've found lots of family, child, school, and other personal photos.

My husband and I agreed that if we did not recognize anyone in a photograph, then the photo would be garbage. That sounds awful, I know. But if the photo means nothing to you or your loved ones, then why keep it? That said, label your photos not only for yourself but for those who "find" them after you are gone.

My husband got in touch with the museum in Trenton and donated it. Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
