  1. Just love seeing these old pictures. I have a collection of black & white photographs my father had made from glass plates of the Great Paterson, NJ fire from the beginning of the 20th century. I wrote twice to the historical society about donating the pictures to them. Never got an answer back. Shame no one cares about history anymore.

  2. I have the cobblers tools my grandfather used to make shoes for my
    mom and her siblings. The way this country is going they might come in handy one day soon.

    1. That's wonderful that you have them and you are quite correct concerning the latter.
