So I saw a post on the FB back up page from a few weeks ago, and was going to comment but decided to start a conversation here instead.
I don’t have any memories of any of my grandparents except for my grandmother on my fathers side. She lived in Oregon and I’m on the east coast, I only remember seeing her once. All the others either died before I was born or died when I was very young.
So when my mom was moving out of her house, we came across a luggage trunk that had a bunch of stuff from my grandfather and WW2. Honorable Discharge paperwork, letters he wrote to my grandmother, even inspection paperwork for a captured pistol that he took home (no one know what happened to the pistol, in talking to my uncle he thinks it was stollen years and years ago), even a live 50 caliber black tip round from WW2. In the trunk was also a lot of negatives that were never developed into pictures (two of which are above). I just printed 15 of the best ones to give to my aunts and uncles for Christmas. I had a grand idea of making copies of everything, letters pictures, and putting everything together in a scrap book but, ran out of time. Maybe next year.
Let’s see the old pictures of your loved ones that are no longer with us.
