May 8, 2008 - Pictures

My sister Lynne and I are so pleased with you sharing the pictures with us. She was so thrilled with the pictures - particularly the one with our Dad - we have very few pictures of him growing up or in his early 20s. She also pointed out that we have a picture of my Dad and Uncle Bill with Kate Heath - and they look quite a bit like George and Will Jr.

*************************

I will be downloading the pictures and printing them onto nice picture paper. I can mail some over to you. My parents have a kodac camera printer that I already started printing these photos onto. They look like they are originals. Its great. Toni told me that she has had some scanner problems but will be scanning many more photos in the next month.

When I first started talking to Toni about pictures in 2007, she said she remembered somewhere in the collection there was a photo of a man in a civil war uniform. I have been patiently waiting for her to find the pic, scan it and send it my way.

I figure the Civil War pic is either William Heath or James Shay. I am thinking it is most likely William Heath though. There are a lot of Heath photos in Toni's collection. It will be cool to get the pic though.

Would be easier for you to save the pictures to CD or DVD? This way we could share them with our brothers. My sister showed my brother Rick the pictures you sent. He asked where was the picture taken - I was assuming that it was taken at George Heath's farm? Please thank Toni for us. I would like to say again - we are so blessed that you answered my email a year ago - we have learned about the Heaths - but also it appeared that our Dad had a strong relationship with the Heaths. My sister recalled hearing my Dad talk about Uncle Frank.

************************************************

Yes I remember my grandmother talking about Uncle Frank. He was a hermit that lived in a shack in Heath Hollow...the original land of Nehemiah & Catherine Heath. He was a beekeeper and the Heath & Seeley cousins would come down the hill when they were kids and Uncle Frank would make them pancakes. He is became the guardian for Jim & Kate Heath after their father passed away.

Do you want me to send a CD now with all the pictures on it or wait a little when I get more photos. Let me know.

You can wait until you get more. There is no hurry.
