Where Eddy family members can blather on harmlessly about themselves, their siblings, offspring, other kinfolk, and assorted hangers-on.

Max and Os
I found these obviously really old bad black and white negatives of Dad and Grandpa Eddy from my last visit ('76,'77?). I scanned, reversed and enlarged them. It was really strange to see the pictures pop out of these almost invisible negatives.
Thanks for putting those up, Chris. They were great to see. The first one is especially nice--looks like a real moment between the two of them. Any idea where they were taken? The room doesn't look familiar at all.
It was Grandpa Eddys house after he moved to Slater. For some reason Dad had left Barb K., Steve, Rob and me to visit. Grandpa gave us tour of the house, the highlight of which was looking down the barrel of his shotgun to see how clean it was. Dad told the story that grandpa was so bored in town that he took to pulling the weeds that grew up in the cracks of the street on his knees, in his nineties.

These are fabulous.
Not to mention arty.
