Dad and Hank Snow

 I recently came across some of my father's negatives, some of which we don't have the photos of. I had them printed out, included those from a Hank Snow concert that he went to in 1966. I don't know much about this country artist, but think that it was pretty cool that Dad got to meet him.

I looked up some info and the only song of his that I am familiar with is "I've Been Everywhere" but only the version done by Johnny Cash which was used in television commercials. I do have one of Dad's 45s but might be adding it to items to donate or sell.

Mom doesn't really have that many photos from her childhood. The condition of some of them is not that good too, but I am just grateful that she still has them.

 

My Grandfather- Police Officer

 Mom has mentioned that her father was on the police force in our town but I never really asked her for more details about this. I found the article about his retirement in her photo album. He was an officer for ten years.

Christmas 1960

 Mom doesn't really have that many photos in her album. She has the older ones in a binder taped to construction paper in sheet protector pages. I wish that she had put them in a regular album. I could try taking them out of this and doing so myself but I am afraid that even if I am being careful that I will mess them up. That did happen to a tiny part of one of my grandpa.

These are the few photos that she has of Christmas 1960. I wonder what type of camera and film were used for this. They are such small photos. None of her or grandpa and just one of grandma in the kitchen. The others are of Aunt Jo and her kids
