Isn't it great to spend some time looking over pix from the past.
With the exception of the last 15 years, most of mine have disappeared
over the course of many successive moves. I do have left about 2800 ft
of family movies taken between 1955 and 1975 which I had scanned to DVD
and gave copies to each of my kids. I hope they enjoy seeing family
members they never knew as much as I enjoy revisiting them.

No, I'm not from a family of monkeys, but my daughter wanted some old sapshots.
The Disney movie Aladdin came out in 1992 and my daughter fell in love
with Abu the monkey.
We bought a wonderful likeness of Abu that we used as a doll and puppet.
For Halloween 1993, my daughter dress as Abu for 3rd grade 'Trick or Treat'-ing.
Now her boss has a little girl who loves Abu, so my daughter asked for
some old pictures.
After rummaging in the closet for a couple of hours, I found these...
(not the first 3, the rest)

(digital copies shot from old prints - some contrast build-up)
It was a trip down memory lane when my family was young and I took
many pictures of them.
Thoughts after the rummaging...
1. Prints are lots easier to view than slides. My closet has
thousands of both, but 75% are slides.
These are now harder to view and share. I'll have to get scanning... :-(
2. Some of my best shots are really pretty good. It's a nice to
compare to the posts here.
(I'd love to do a 'How To' picture book for parents some day.)
3. Never underestimate the ability of photos to refresh your memories
after 25 or 30 years.
Lynn and I re-lived a lot of our experiences as I shared old prints.
We look forward to becoming grandparents some day. :-)
4. Take lots of photos. The family will grow up quickly. You'll
have the best time of your life!
Regards, Bob S.
