Porky's Coming Out Party

Porky's Coming Out Party

OMG! It's February 2017 already! 

I didn't realize how long it's been since a Porky story graced this blogpost.

Rest assured, however, that the interim has been spent diligently copying, cropping, cataloging, sorting and archiving several generations of Ross-Levine-Solomon photos. Stay tuned - I'll soon start posting older pictures in the hope that someone (anyone!) will be able to identify or give some clue about the person(s) in the photo. So, be sure to bookmark this blog. You won't want to miss any of the photographs. 99.6% of the time, it'll be a relative of yours, since all pictures come from family albums.

Furthermore, although I still have some ways to go before the photo project is complete, eventually I'll be in a position to send out links to your own digital file folder of family photos. I haven't quite worked out all the mechanics or issues yet. "Individual privacy v. family sharing" is certainly one major issue that looms large on the horizon. If you want to be a recipient of your future digital file, or if you have any viewpoint, questions, suggestions or comments, please share in the "Comments" section which follows.

Oh yes - Porky's coming out... As many of you might know, a beloved family Grande Dame is having a very special birthday this month. As a fitting honor to her and the occasion, the Treasury of Samuel Levine Historical Reviews (aka Porky's Scrapbook) is emerging from obscurity and being transferred to her safekeeping. Henceforth, she will be known as Trustee of the Treasury with all the rights, privileges and emoluments pertaining thereto.

And here's a very small taste of what's in that collection. They are in no particular date order and, unfortunately, there is no citation for any of the newspaper clippings.
