I spent the evening cropping and organizing 121 old family images
using gimp on my trusty
If I've given you a username and password, take a look at
/private/.
Most of the images are from of the HULL and LENT lines and a few of
the NOZELL, SMITH, ODELL lines.
My parents were in town this week and brought a whole bunch of old
family photos that I prompted scanned in. My mother was nice enough
to sit there and write a description of each image. Eventually they
will turn up in various genealogy mailings sent out to cousins.
I've been trying to think how to integrate blogging, wiki,
whatever to encourage various family members and genealogists surfing
from search engines to collaborate on identifying and sharing images
Without further ado -- here is a picture of me buck naked on August 18, 1964
.
(Well, that should certainly drive up google search traffic to
this blog. Now go
away, there is no more nudity here.)
I need to dig up some of our photos of the Old Man.
Bald said he expects to receive condolence cards, as Granite Staters struggle w
ith how to deal with the loss of a state treasure.
"That's exactly what it feels like ? like you have just lost someone close," Ba
ld said.
It is a sad day here in New Hampshire. The evening news said there is
a fund for the restoration of the Old Man. I can't imagine the state
not rebuilding it -- the likeness is on everything in
the state.
Trevor did a great job at today's NH Class 7 State Championships and

Two years ago we discovered the hard way that he was seriously
allergic to bee and wasps and he carries an epipen with him at all
times. Yesterday Trevor was stung/bit has an
reaction to something. He 'won' an ambulance trip and spent a few
hours on an IV at the hospital, etc. Fortunately it wasn't as severe
as the last time and his breathing was no affected. Because he has
previously has had a 'rebound' reaction, we are on high alert for the
next 48 hours.
Still life goes on and he has his state gymnastics competition this
afternoon and is going to a friend's birthday party at a
(although now I'll be going with him to the game 'just in case')
Another advantage of living in New England with its relatively small
states is being able to listen to any of three public radio stations.
Last week WBUR had their fund
raiser, this week is it NHPR (aka
WEVO) is having theirs. Perhaps
Yes, I've donated to NHPR, but that doesn't mean I want to miss the
programming...
