Too bad the store was gone when you returned. <br /><br />I realize that many people just don't "get" genealogy and the desire to understand and preserve the past. Hopefully though, that is changing through television programs, conferences and the Internet. <br /><br />Thanks to this post I've had people contact me who might know where some of Hap's personal effects went. (And, yes, an antique store was one of the locations I was given.) I'm going to take some time back home this weekend and see what I can discover! : )Joy Neighborshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517577511576153582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-69351274617132160272011-11-20T20:41:35.239-05:002011-11-20T20:41:35.239-05:00Joy, this is a really beautiful tribute.
This we...Joy, this is a really beautiful tribute. <br /><br />This weekend, I returned to an antique store to pick up a photo album there that had been haunting me since I first saw it there a while back. Beautifully captioned with names and dates--I was sure I could find a descendent who would treasure it.<br /><br />Not only was the album no longer there, but the entire store had disappeared too, seemingly overnight. Another opportunity to preserve a life story gone. Good for you for keeping Hap's story alive.<br /><br />Kristy<br />www.aburnpioneercemetery.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
