World War 2, the 101st Airborne Division And Dad
Notes from several Books: As I have journeyed thru the project of scanning all of these pictures and documents, a task not yet completed, one of the consistencies that has appeared time after time is the fact that in almost every picture Dad is smiling, evidence that he was one happy fellow loving life….. and […]

Swann Family Photos – Update 13 – The 50th Wedding Anniversary
These pictures were taken from the album pictured below: This album is made up of 2 pictures on a page…the kind of page which has a sorta sticky surface. My usual instinct is to get the pictures out of such a page as it generally will cause damage over time, However, this needs […]

Swann Family Photos – Update 12 – 1984 Trip to Ireland
This book presented a few unusual challenges. The pictures were placed into one of those “stick-down” albums and supplemented by a lot of notes made by Mom. The pages were bound in a spiral binder that was broken from the binder itself. The spiral plastic was rotted and seriously discolored. I had to disassemble it […]

Swann Family Photos – Mom – 50th High-School Reunion Trip, part 1
This album was rather difficult to work from as it was put together using one of those “self-stick” type of album pages. Over time (and this was about 20+ years), the pictures had become seriously glues to the pages and were becoming discolored as a result. I’ve seen this before so I removed all the […]
