I found a photo of my Father that was taken in the early 1960s and I began to wonder about what life must have been like for him back then. <br />Nice post, Scott.

There's something about that photo particularly that I just can't put a finger on, that makes me want to probe a lot further back into my family's history. I couldn't put it down, and it just had to go on this blog entry.

These are lives that have existed outside of mine, yet have such a major impact on my own. It is fascinating and interesting, while being revealing and confronting at the same time. <br /><br />Thanks for that. We all do have unique paths through time, and I find it endlessly interesting.

It's funny and sad how your own family history can keep so many secrets from you. I know mine has, I even keep some myself. The Adler-Remington thing is just a misunderstanding, which is well explained by your uncle. Nothing to worry about! Must be good to see that your mother at least could have a part of her life without the need to fight and just be.

I don't know what he looked like but my guess is he looked like my dad, whom I bear a passing family resemblance too. But it is interesting to reflect past times of hardship, world wars and what life threw at our forebears that they had to survive - and for a particular, unacknowledged reason - so you could be here today, keeping them alive.Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120715572940256008.post-91258984912745622532013-09-25T08:38:19.816-07:002013-09-25T08:38:19.816-07:00Scott, you should know that your story touches eve...Scott, you should know that your story touches even strangers. I read your blogs, though I don't often have much to say, to add. I just want you to know that your story affects more people than you may realize. This is really well done.

I'm sure your post has send many of us back into the past a bit with memories of good times and bad. One thing your post has done for me is to instill the resolve to organize some key family photos. Fortunately I have hundreds tucked away on hard drives in our safe deposit box, but none organized in chronological order with the impact of the few you have here.
