Another batch of pics, this time Scandanavia, but with some interesting family pictures included. Peter skiing, looking pretty good. Me, at 17, with acne, and doing something sneaky (look carefully). A clipping from a newspaper with a picture of Rudy, Lucy, Eve and Kenny. Leon with Rudy’s hand-me-down Lincoln.  Some pretty interesting stuff. (Another improvement […]

The second huge folder of pictures on Dad’s computer. Not so many pictures of people this time. But also a lot less work for me, because now I have scripts that generate the HTML. I’m going to try to do one batch a day. Dave Mt. Desert Island Mt. Desert Island Mt. Desert Island Sunrise […]
