i like the idea of photocopy onto disc ... also ... have you thought of scanning your parents letters from WWII and then donating the originals to a history museum ... there are lots of museums who would love to have them and would preserve them for future generations to see and learn from ... just a thought

i am slowly going through the boxes on boxes of stuff in the house ... the real challenge will come this spring when i tackle the garage ... its a two car garage stuffed full and not with a car either .... yes part of the space is taken up with my MIL fishing boat but the boat is filled with stuff and stuff is stuffed under the boat too ... i am going to rent one of those big dumpsters as alot of the stuff has been damaged by wild cats, mice, and flooding (mildew) ... things that have sentimental value i will photograph it fi it is something i can do without ... that way i still have the photo to remember by ... if its something i cant do without, i will label them so that when the boys finally get them they will know what its story is ... at least that is my goal
