Switching to Private

John was a little concerned about privacy-- as the blog is public right now. So I'm going to make it private, and you'll want to leave a comment before Friday of next week if you're interested in being on the "list"... leave your email so I can tell Blogger that you're on it.

Thanks!

Newspaper Articles & Business Card

So I have finally finished your parents' notebook of photos and there are just a few that I'm hoping to find... these and especially the ones of your dad looking like a little Gerber baby. I've got a few to post that belong to Leslie, but other than that, I'm just about finished. Pretty soon I'll start putting them all together in some kind of organized way... I need help, though, labeling many of the photos. :)



Here is the last thing from their big album that I wanted to share-- the business card and articles about Grant's death.
