    1. [TNGIBSON-L] A Poem about Old Photos
    2. Eddy G. Clark
    3. Hello Everyone, I would like to take a minute of your time to try and persquade you to submit your old photos and old letters to our Gibson Co Page. I call it "our" page because it is what we make it. Vicki and the many volunteers are doing such a great job so far, but the best is yet to come. Help by uploading your old photos and letters. For more info on how, contact Milton Webb ( mwebb@iswt.com ) or myself and we can instruct you on what you need to do. Below is a poem about Old Photos that I recently received. I hope you all like it. Thank-you all, and take care everyone, Eddy G. Clark STRANGERS IN THE BOX Come, look with me inside this drawer, In this box I've often seen, At the pictures, black and white, Faces proud, still, serene. I wish I knew the people, These strangers in the box, Their names and all their memories Are lost among my socks. I wonder what their lives were like, How did they spend their days? What about their special times? I'll never know their ways. If only someone had taken time To tell who, what, where, or when, These faces of my heritage Would come to life again. Could this become the fate Of the pictures we take today? The faces and the memories Someday to be passed away? Make time to save your stories, Seize the opportunity when it knocks, Or someday you and yours could be The strangers in the box.
