| My maternal Great Grandpa Todd in the Calvary in Battle Creek, Michigan |
As a resolution this year, I was determined to scan boxes of old photos of my Maternal Great Grandmother's and Great Aunt and Uncle's, Paternal Grandmother's, and my mom and dad's old pics that have been stored in cardboard boxes for countless years. I am happy to report that said resolution has been accomplished!

I even went one step further. I copied all the photos onto cds to share with my family, put my paternal grandmother's photos into acid and lignin free albums, and returned photos to other households. I cannot express the relief I have of no longer being responsible for the safety of generations of old pictures in the case of a house fire! Now, many cds will be spread throughout the family. Should a tragedy destroy the originals, nothing will be lost and countless backups will provide relief. Sigh. :)
