I’m starting to think that we need to begin a list of photographs that are sitting in basements, closets and bottom drawers around the living spaces of our cousins wherever they may now be living.. As an example, the other evening on a phone conversation, Linnae mentioned that her mother, Ruth, and father, Jim, had traveled extensively and returned with photos and slides from their travel locations including Europe and Africa. Linnae is trying to figure out what to do with these photos. My thoughts are that others, for various reasons, may benefit from knowing about this collection. I would be a bit surprised if there were not some choice photos in the collection that may have relevance for this site, such as photos that may have been taken at the Lanyon farm or the houses in Fort Dodge.
It seems worthwhile to use this page to begin a listing of collections of photography held by the families.
