I support your thoughts in your post Don, but one thing I disagree with is the photo album part. My mom passed away last year at the age of 95 and she and my dad had loads of pictures, many of which brought back memories or triggered thoughts about long ago conversations, people or events that you can't necessarily remember but were tied together by the photos you see, or perhaps (hopefully) captioned by the words written on the back that described that person or event that might dredge up long lost memories. Photo albums are an important part of family history and are disappearing rapidly as everything has gone digital and very little is printed anymore. Of course photos can be viewed on a computer's hard drive or floating in some cloud somewhere, but I cherish my parents albums, not just for being able to hold those old photos in my hand, but also for the memories they create that are a tangible history of their lives.
