If I had a choice between wrestling with Jayne Mansfield and Helen Thomas, I'd make the same choice your father did.

Of course, my wife would not be as kindly about it as your mother.

My friend Bud Moore has about ten thousand slides that he has accumulated over the years. He realizes they are a historical resource and has documented them in a big Excel database. The database identifies who is in the picture, when and where it was taken, a sound file of Bud talking about it, and of course a link to the picture.

Type in my name and a dozen or so photos come up. The first one I looked at was of me cleaning a fish in a lake that we walked cross country into way back when the world was young.

He has the resources to hire somebody to edit the database and transcribe everything. Otherwise, it would not get done.

I encourage you to catalog your father's photos as best you can. They will be important someday, despite what the youngsters at the AP think.

My Dad was in Lakehurst when the Hindenburg went down. I don't think he saw it, however.
