A slideshow mainly of head shots. Many of them came from a dvd that Harvey
sent me last week. He is such a great photographer. If you don't see yourself or
your loved one in this video, just wait awhile and I am sure to make another one
soon.
It's always enjoyable for me to put together these slideshows. Hope to do more of
them. It's a fast way to look at a lot of photos in a short span of time. Most of
these are on the website as still shots, but in many different places that would
probably take you a long time to find.

Videos, Slide Shows, and Interviews
If you have a photo of
someone in your family line who
has served in the military and
would like it included in this
slideshow, email or mail it to
me and I will add it on.
We need to remember those
who have served our country
honorably and kept this
country free.
Because our freedom is not
free.

With all due respect to our
deceased, graveyards are like
museums to me. I don't pass by
museums. They compel me to stop
because of my natural curiosity of
all things. My son has been going to
museums with me since he was an
infant. And he's traipsed through a
few cemeteries with me, too.
And you cannot do genealogy unless
you do love stopping (on a dime) at
graveyards.
While I approach them as part of
the necessary research for
genealogy, I am respectfully mindful
of just who I am visiting. They are
family, our family. Their faces come
into my mind's eye & questions float
around my head that I will never get
to ask them. I have to be content
that I have located them, can look
up towards the heavens as though
they are looking down on me and
wish their spirits love and peace
until we meet.

Thanks to Gerald Aldana for
sharing his bounty of photos of
David Robles Aldana.
It's rare for me to receive more than
one military photo for a person.
Here we see photos of a young,
good looking David and his service
buddies posing for photos, doing
what service men do....namely
sharing a beer or two. For those of
us who study military history we can
take note of how the army uniform
has changed in 60 years. The
combat photo of him and his
platoon members in the field is
priceless. Perhaps it's posed, but
the photo could have been shot just
seconds before they were called to
use their weapons. I love this
photo. For both discipline, self
protection and entertainment it
looks like David spent some time
boxing, another common activity
when men are grouped together.

Interview with Tibo
OK, this is another
first for me. Tibo
visited with Vivian
and me when we were
in Tucson in July 2009.
After a couple of
beers he agreed to let
me film an interview
with him (just kidding
about the beers; it
was Tequila). Just
Kidding!
Tibo has been a great
sport throughout this
whole genealogy
venture. Sharing
photos, going with me
to visit cousins, etc..
But this was a stretch
for me because I
don't know anything
about filming an
interview.

Well, we winged it. And it's taken me six months to figure out how to import the film to
the website. A couple of things about viewing it: it takes a long time to load-you may
have to let it run all the way through (watch the gray bar) until it completes a cycle and
then start it from the beginning again and it should run smoothly for you.
I'll work on the glitches; you just enjoy the film.
