It was drawn in 2001 probably just before his condition made even holding a pencil or brush difficult.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-24781636984382605272011-09-11T03:26:26.857-07:002011-09-11T03:26:26.857-07:00That header is amazing.

It never interested me until now: I'm totally absorbed in it now.<br /><br />@Macy - Yes, talk to your mum, get something down in writing. I always thought I'd remember things I'd been told but the memories fade or become muddled. <br /><br />@The Mad House - I tried to scan the photos but they wouldn't fit on my scanner so I just took a photo of them - worked perfectly. And yes, isn't it just what you'd imagine for that era.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-21485505360464953842011-09-10T06:01:53.344-07:002011-09-10T06:01:53.344-07:00What amazing images and wow, just look at that Wed...What amazing images and wow, just look at that Wedding photoJen Walshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374363403295342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-909929939723841252011-09-10T05:43:00.227-07:002011-09-10T05:43:00.227-07:00With all my father's family dead, I'll nev...With all my father's family dead, I'll never be able to do anything like this. <br />Might try talking to my mum though....<br /><br />Fantastic idea Trish!Macyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16117141586263456823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-66439802275917788812011-09-10T05:24:47.258-07:002011-09-10T05:24:47.258-07:00I felt old family photos come alive too when I did...I felt old family photos come alive too when I did some of my family tree.
