After an intense and crazy couple of days digging through Ann's apartment last week, I have come away with a wonderful stash of family letters, photos and wonderful memorabilia - 2 large suitcases full. I was a little unnerved when Air Canada lost the bags on the return flight, but a couple of days later they were delivered to our door unharmed (except for a little note inside one case that said it had been inspected by Homeland Security - I wonder what they made of the contents).
I am so excited to read through all the letters and journals and share them with you all, but the reality is that it will be months before I can get through it all. I want to share with you all the information as I go through it, and I am think that the best way is to share my findings on this blog, and make the documents and photos available to you through Google's Picasa (photo sharing) and Google Docs (document sharing). You can add comments to the postings for everyone to see.
What a great idea Mark! I'm looking forward to reading more. Such precious threads from a human life. Adrienne
ReplyDeleteThanks Adrienne. I am going to try profiling some individuals as I turn up troves specific to them. Watch out first for Willard Harrison Bridges - our great grandfather - known simply as "the captain".
