Hidden Treasures

E-mail Print

We received a card from my sister-in-law Betsy yesterday that had a special surprise for us... lost pictures.

Well, not entirely lost... just forgotton. In the days before digital photography and instant gratification, I know this has happened to a lot of us... we snapped some pictures with our (film) cameras and since we didn't finish the roll it just sat in the camera, and sometimes years later we would get it developed and "surprise!" we have fresh memories of something that happened years ago.

In this case, this camera had been handed from mother to daughter sometime after 1999 with a roll of film still in it, and only recently, my niece Angie developed that roll that included a trip that we shared with Jerry and Betsy in the spring of 1999 to Disneyland.

Since the kids graduate from High School this year, you can see just how much they have changed in the past 11 years.

A Special Surprise

E-mail Print

A while back I told you about a special visit that I had in Hershey, Pennsylvania with my Great Uncle Ralph Markle. What made it so special was that after so many years of having our family estranged from the rest of the Markle's because of events over 75 years ago we finally had a chance to meet for the 1st time.... and a great meeting it was. After a few minutes I saw so many things that I knew in my dad... a man who was deeply devoted to his wife and family. A man who spoke softly, and listened to our words. A man whom we have come to have complete respect for.

The past week, we received a special envelope from Ralph that we did not expect... some very special pictures of his family.... and now I can share with the rest of the family.

Please enjoy as I have;
