In preparation for this week’s Family Photo Friday, I was going through my archival box of stuff to scan and found this tiny little scrap of paper. It was given to me by my sister. It was found among my Aunt’s things after she passed away.
This priceless treasure is a piece of a penmanship lesson my father did when he was a very small child. You can see his name is at the top, Joseph Barabino, then he proceeds to write “I love mother” several times.
This precious little scrap of paper is over 80 years old; my father would have been 90 this year.
I hope you will participate in my efforts to preserve these priceless pieces of family history by making a point to scan one photo from your collection every Friday. Share it, if you like, on my facebook page. If you are too private to share, please take part in any way you like to preserve your family history. It is so important.
