I agree that it does take a lot of time to help others & that the photos & items do belong with the proper families instead in some archives, where even the proper families would have a hard time finding them... I'm sure that most people that receive the photos from Shelley are the proper families & are very grateful to her for finding them....she should actually be given a finders fee for them.... But SHE doesn't ask for anything!!!! (postage should ALWAYS be paid by the recipient). YES, there are some dishonest people out there that do seem to betray our trust, but most people would only want the items if they were researching ther family.... We must have Faith in mankind & hope that Shelley's kindness is not abused..... There are MANY of us out here that help strangers every day...... Why would anyone even think of questioning WHY we do it???? HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL Faith in Milwaukee
