Snooky!

nobody@vox.com(richunger) — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 22:13:20 -0800

I can't believe my Grandmother's nickname was Snooky. I've posted a bunch of new photos. The first set is all Sam & Ida. The second is a sampler of photos Grandma kept of her 10 grandchildren.

Grandpa's High School Yearbook

nobody@vox.com(richunger) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:30:46 -0800

Hot off the scanner, Sam Blam's high school yearbook from 1924! Grandpa died when I was only four, so this has been a fascinating little window into his personality for me. His class photo is on page 12. The caption reads: Sam can argue, Sa...

nobody@vox.com(richunger) — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 21:11:57 -0800

Dear extended family, Okay, it's been a while (since Thanksgiving!) since I scanned anything, so I've decided to set aside this Saturday night and finish the set of suede-bound albums. There are two more, from 1927-29 and 1929. These photos fea...

Home Alone

nobody@vox.com(richunger) — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:43:35 -0800

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get the first set of photos out. After scanning that one photo on Mom my scanner broke (I think it was on its last legs for a while). Then I ordered our new multi-function printer, which was DOA. Then I sent...

Dar es Salaam

11/15/07 We're sitting on an air-conditioned ferry to Dar es Salaam from Zanzibar. Just one night in Dar, and then we board a plane for NYC. Zanzibar was the perfect cap on our African experience. 6 days of worry-free beach relaxation, including...
