What would I give...

Keep the old pictures, they are views of the past that you can hold and pass on. I write on each one who, what, when, & where. That way the info is not forgotten. Do have some images from the late 1800's/early 1900's that I know are family members, but exactly who, I am not sure.

I do have one that I like alot. It is five generations of my family sitting together. My Great Aunt, my Mother, my wife & I, our daughter and the oldest two of her children. Not often that you can get pictures like that.

And keep them away from any constant light source that is also clean and dry...Future generations will thank you......Ben

I too was a 1.5-sets of grandparents lad, my Mom's father having died from asthma when she was a teenager. I think my widowed Grandmother did a lot to make up for that, but of course how would I know? I do know she was a wonderful lady. She had to work to support herself, but she made time for my brother and me on the weekends. She left this world within a month of my high school graduation… needless to say, way too soon.

The last time I was alone with my paternal grandmother I took her out to dinner. To a nice restaurant. While there she complained about the cost of the food(but she sure ate it). She also saw two Baltimore Colt Football players (Johnny Unitas and I think Ray Donovan) She got up and went over to talk to 'em..next thing she's wagging her finger at them. I had to go over and pry her off of them. They were very gracious though. When they left they dropped a little note for her on our table with their autographs. Had to be 1966. She had to be about 80. Saw her some after wards but not as often as I should. That was a neat remembrance for her and esp for me. She was sharp as a tack to her last day at 89
