It's just wonderful the way this blog brings a different time and place and the people who lived there alive, along with the triumphs and tragedies of their lives.
Who would ever have thought that Blogger would be a medium for Proustian remembrances of time past?
my english is not good, but, beautiful blog!
You are so lucky to hold these photographs!
