Happy New Year!! Here's a good resolution if you haven't made one
yet... I received this on my Hudspeth mail list and thought I'd pass it
on to the other Gen lists I subscribe to...

"Label and organize your own photographs-you know how frustrating it can
be
to deal with old photographs when they are unlabeled. As hard as you
work on
old photographs, think about the family photgrahic treasures you have
created. Are the vacation pictures organized and labeled? Are school
pictures
labeled? Have wedding pictures been labeled with the names of the
subjects?
Yes that means the names of the guests appearing in the photographs! You
do a
diservice to future genearations if you devote yourself to identifying
and
labeling old pictures and neglect your own. In fact, doesn't this just
create
the same problem for your descendants?"

I need to be more diligent in labeling my own so that's something I'll
be working on this year.... One suggestion is to use your address
labels... I do that with pictures of my son.. then I can add a few extra
tidbits of info to the name/date... Hope you & yours have a wonderful
year... !! Lori
