After the war German civilians were forced to dig up mass graves and properly re-bury bodies around some concentration camps.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Seafire Campfire 'Bwana S Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 42,743 Southern Oregon USA	Originally Posted by Mannlicher There is something about looking at old family photos. Sharing the past, learning more about who we are. Anyone else have old family photos? Back around WW II or earlier? Definitely Sam... thanks for posting...many of those look just like the same South Western VA and SE WVa family pics I have tons of... Mountain Folks... They might not have had much in the way of possessions.. but they certainly were Rich in Family, and other values that our society is very poor in nowadays...

Hard to imagine that the salmon population was basically decimated with commercial fishing closing in the mid-50's. Mt grandfather and uncles all fished. She cruised a skiff across the Sacramento river, a mile and a half or so, from my mother's home in Collinsville to work every day. The smile says it all to me as I find it hard to imagine many women doing this today. By the way, she was an inch shy of 5'. Tough and, at times, downright mean. Conduct is the best proof of character.

Not still in the family is it? Those are great pictures. My GGfather is sitting and that's his hunting partner, both named Joe. They were quite famous in Arizona territory as lion hunters and were invited by President Roosevelt to hunt with him on Judge Wheeler's ranch in California. He owned the Old Winsor Hotel on Gurley st. Helped pull the bar out of the Palace when it was burning down and help rebuild it along with other business owners, as it was a famous landmark frequented by the likes of the Earps and Doc Holiday. It was said the Holiday was on such a winning streak at the Palace, that after a couple of months, he went to Tombstone following Wyatt a rich man. That is a 1899, that picture was taken between 1910 and 1915. Though that wasn't our family's gun, it's funny that my first rifle I bought with my summer ranching money was 99, it was a 60s model in 308. Killed a lot of deer with that gun. My GGfather died in a horse wreck in rough Az country, hunting a lion for a local rancher solo with one dog. 1915. Kent
