Christmas Extravaganza - Grandpa's Slides

For the holidays, GAP presents each and every slide it has scanned from Grandpa's vast collection, more than 700 in all. Thank you Joe, Ellen, John, and Susan for letting us scan your slide books! Thank you also to everyone else who has sent different picture collections for us to scan; we hope to feature the other collections in a similar format in the future.

These pictures, labeled using GAP's fancy pants file naming system, are presented below as thumbnail images. They are almost all chronologically arranged, except for a very few at the beginning and end (due to the way we name files). Click on any page to view larger (but still very small) images.



















If you are wondering how to get larger copies of these pictures, fear not. Grandma and Grandpa, as well as the families of their seven children, are each receiving a DVD with all of these pictures in a much larger size. The disc contains all images previously sent out and many more; in fact, your best bet, if you have copied previous versions of these pictures onto your computer, is to delete the previous versions and use these new ones. GAP encourages people to share these discs and to distribute the pictures to as many family members as possible.

Do you see something of interest that GAP should post in a larger size to discuss on the blog? Leave a comment and we'll see what we can do! This is GAP's Christmas present to the family -- sorry, no Scooby Doo Chia plant, Glee soundtrack, or Snuggie from GAP this year!

Mr. GAP would love a new flatbed scanner or camera for Christmas, but is confident that it will not be in Santa's sleigh this year. OTOH, Mr. GAP would also love more family negatives or slides to scan and is delusional enough to think they might arrive. Just saying.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
