My Grandfather was my buddy when I was little, and he was the Postmaster. I have wonderful memories of watching downtown parades from the balcony of his office in the Federal building, when I was just a small girl. My Great Grandfather was a limestone cutter and cut some of the limestone that was used to build the Federal Building. Little did he know that 50 or 60 years later, his son would be Postmaster in the same building. Here are some of my memories.
roxiemarty Cool group very nice story with it.

here is a quick snap shot of a Kansas diner in the late 1960's.I had been out photographing old abandoned buildings. I decided to stop for coffee and lunch. The little cafe was full of local construction hands and farmers.. The juke box was playing good country music. Folks were talking, about the weather. "Oakie from Muskogee" When these college boys walked in, and the talking stopped. The kids stood in the door for a couple of minutes and left with out a word. This is one of the first rolls of film I developed and printed.

this is really not about using photography to save old images. It is about saving the stories attached to them.

The Miracle of America Museum in Polson, Montana is a multi-acre, indoor and outdoor, eclectic collection of just about everything ever made in America! It boasts this faithful recreation of a soda shop from days gone by. I added a bit of selective color because red naugahyde is so 50's! Enjoy!
