It was great to find Cindy and Colleen and Ali's posts when I opened the blog today. I got inspired and started to load pictures from our 25th Reunion, and then realized I do not know our policy about pictures of each other. Of course, people can always post pictures of themselves, but how do you feel about my posting pictures of you? I went to email them, but it added up to 9 mb and maxed out my email limit.
I found the pictures in film I had developed three years ago, over twenty rolls that had been sitting around for years. During the divorce, I took it with me with the understanding that Geoff and I would share, scan, and exchange pictures. I had them put on CD ready to trade, but he reneged; he kept the family photo albums and won't let me copy anything, and so I lost the vast majority of pictures of the children growing up. This has been a source of some pain, because I was the family photographer.
Thankfully, I had been sending duplicates to my Mom early on, and so I have the time period from Daniel's birth to Ned at age 3 covered pretty well. Also, I got a digital camera in 2002, so I have all the years after that, when Ned was 11 and Daniel 16, covered well. What was wonderful to discover was that this film covered chunks of the gap. There were walks in the woods, Halloween costumes, birthday parties, and jumping around in fall leaves. Let this be a caution to you all; scan and preserve now! Seeing them brings things back in sense memories so visceral I can almost smell the kids' skin.
Anyway, how do you all feel about posting pictures from our various reunions?
Love, Lisa

Oh, for god's sake Lisa, just put them up. If someone doesn't like them, they can blog you. It's not like we're at the top of anyone's google list or anything.
