Such a great picture of what it was like for him in the navy back then. I will certainly see they go somewhere where they'll be preserved and appreciated when I'm gone.DeAnna Julie Dodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006564626571868446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-38631527439463352082017-02-15T17:10:30.413-05:002017-02-15T17:10:30.413-05:00Right back at ya, Deb.

I posted on FB about how we can't seem to find people to buy antiques anymore. So many baby boomers are trying to sell their family's things and downsize. Someone mentioned how photos and the like are especially of interest to museums and historical societies. Rather than just toss them! Awful! Thanks for sharing!Debra E.

Thanks for sharing that.
