<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 9874097, member: 649&quot;]I purchased <i><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/my-new-ish-avatar-meet-bertha-more-photos-added.37793/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/my-new-ish-avatar-meet-bertha-more-photos-added.37793/">THIS</a></i> fantastic 1920s/30 album full of great photos from a local seller for $20. She had no idea of its history and did not know the family.</p><p>I so enjoyed it, the main subject of the album had a wonderful personality that shined through all the photos in which she was depicted. Then I started online research based on a name scrawled on the back of one of the photos.</p><p>It took some doing but I eventually found Bertha&#039;s son in another state and shipped him the photo album for free. He was very grateful. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> (IIRC, it had apparently gotten into the hands of an Aunt many years previously, who ended up estranged from the family and who obviously held no great appreciation for the album.)</p><p>When I bought the album, I&#039;d had no conscious intention of finding its family. But it wasn&#039;t in my possession for long before I felt that I should make an attempt to return it to its rightful place.</p><p><br /></p><p>(I used a photo of Bertha as my avatar here for a little while, hence the title of that thread.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
