[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 626683, member: 649"]I bought the album in the fall of last year from a stranger who advertised it on Craigslist. I asked her where she'd gotten it and I think she said something about an elderly neighbor. I'm afraid I don't know if the neighbor had died or if the neighbor was simply culling her own collection of (possibly unknown) photographs. Sorry, I can't offer any more info. The pencil drawing has Bertha's first and last names on it. Of course, I realized that she likely had changed her name due to marriage. I made an effort when I first purchased the album to find her family but couldn't find anything definitive. After I posted this thread, I decided to have another stab at it and luck was with me. With only about 45min of searching I hit upon solid leads that led me to Todd. So, Bertha's wonderful album is going to its rightful home this week. :shame:[/QUOTE]
