Had to ask around about a few of them, but in the end there were only a handful that we couldn't identify.Kellie @ Delightfully Ludicroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226603919012169939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565799188684517115.post-62655139057769621672012-07-07T13:47:06.432+10:002012-07-07T13:47:06.432+10:00Well...

You know, I think the reason pictures end up in estate sales or secondhand shops, etc is because people don't know who the heck are in those pictures when they are going through things of their parents when their parents pass and what do you do with them?
