Pics telling the stories

Doc Searls has spent the last few days with his mother in the hospital. While he was back in North Carolina he also went through and found old photographs from his parents place and scanned them into his laptop.

They may be hard to see, but the more of us who are dedicated to looking for them, and sharing them, the more of it we’ll draw strength from.
