Neat find (PIP)

squarepeg72

I was looking through pictures I recieved from my Grandmother and found this:

It is a picture of my dad with his parents taken around 1949. Dad is about a year old. I think I am going to use it for the display on the piano at the reception instead of my grandparents wedding picture and Dad;s military record picture.

Now to find pictures of my great grandparents, Mom's parents and grandparents as well as FH's grandparents and great grandparents

I love that idea! Very cute picture.

Thanks! We want to do a memorial that does not scream "This is a memorial" so we are putting wedding pictures of our grandparents and great grandparents on the top of the piano at the reception hall just like both my grandmothers did with family pictures. I also have the sheet music for "When I Get Where I'm Going" to put on the piano. I was struggling with a way to get Dad (he passed in March 2011) in without using my parents wedding picture (my parents divorced when I was 11) so this picture really fits.

This is such a nice idea - I'm in a similar situation (my dad passed away many years ago, and my parents were divorced) and had been thinking I might just put an "in memoriam" section in the program or something, but I really like the idea of having old family photos.

I love old photos like that!
