After reading this months, the great picture hunt, I could not agree more, in my 66 years I have list so many dear people along the way, most from my younger years, before digital cameras and cell phones, are lost forever. Few times could we afford cameras nor the processing of film. I’am sorry now I did not think ahead, like David, I lost my dear friend Rich Villwock in 96” tho I did take photos of us there will never be anuff, thanks for the story!
