    1. [PABRADFO] Poem

    3. Listers, thought this might be fitting since I am doing family photo's right now and even sent Joyce some. "Notes on a Family Album" I sit before some photographs of people I don't know. Mom said, "They are your relatives," But that was long ago. She used to get the album out And put me on her knee: Then pointing, with a story line Tell family history. The captions used were all her own, Each time developed new. We never thought to write them down Before her life was through. I see some family features now: I have begun to care. Since Mom is gone, I cannot ask, "Whose picture is that there?" If you have photo's in a book Without a caption, too. Go get a pen and label them, Or you may wonder, "Who?" by Mary F. Heisey I have found a cousin with an album of family photos which include about 100 tintypes and we have no idea who these people are. So there is truth in this poem. Harold Hooper
