A huge but rewarding project

When Grandma Sade passed away in February, she had a huge dresser FILLED with pictures and other stuff. I took all of it home and over the course of the next month and a half, scanned each one into my computer. It has been a painstaking process, but definitely rewarding. I'm now in the process of organizing all of them so I can burn them to CD for all of my cousins to have.

There was a huge stack of letters and post cards that my Grandpa Gunner wrote to his mother when he was in Guam during the Korean War. So interesting to read and look through his pictures from that time. Here are a few samples:

We miss you both but are glad we have pictures and memories to hold close to our hearts. We all love you very much!
