I am taking the opportunity, while visiting mom this week, to look through her old photo albums. In particular, I am looking for mom's scrapbook and that of her mother, chronicling their theatre days in Jamaica. Nicola is looking for photos and information for inclusion in a book about the theatre in Jamaica that will be sold as a fund-raiser for the restoration of the Ward Theatre.

Dave has a scanner, but he says it saves files in tiff format and they are huge. I guess I'll have to find a Kinko's somewhere, where I can scan the photos and articles and save them to my flash drive.

I found some wonderful old photos of the "Soutar Sisters", as well as photos of my dad's side of the family. When Earl and Aunt Jo come on Friday, we'll go over them and try to date them and name the individuals pictured.
