A first-cousin was in touch with me and it prompted me to open the black trunk given to me by my grandfather John Arthur Showalter. It hasn’t been opened for more than twenty years. When I started looking at pictures I had the thought “Too many ghosts.”  I don’t know why… but I can’t lie. I used my Canon camera to take pictures of the pictures. The pictures would be better if “scanned.” I am now challenged to go through albums and scan pictures to be uploaded to Ancestry. I need to be four people!!
