A Note about Photos

We're sharing our photos with you--will you share yours with us? Our ancestors probably would have liked all of their descendants to have everything they left, and with the copying technology we have now, it's possible for all of us to have copies of all the photos and documents. Even if you don't have a scanner, you can use a machine at a store to put a copy of a photo on a CD that you can send by e-mail.
