It's only been over the last few years that, suddenly, just about all the
folks in my family as old as my parents have all passed away. My mother and
her four siblings have all died. On my father's side, only his older brother
is still alive; his three sisters are dead.
My mom was the executor of her older sister Georgie's estate. And Georgie
never had any kids. So mom ended up with a lot of photos and things from
Georgie. Scrapbooks of at least a thousand obituaries; diaries; old cheques;
divorce papers; marriage certificates; things like that.
I inherited the house from my parents, and have been going through 40 years
of stuff. Mom found it hard to throw stuff out. I have to throw a lot of it
out. But I was very fond of Georgie, and have tried, over the last few
months, to put together something in her memory. I'm not sure how
interesting it will be to people who didn't know Georgie, but she was quite
remarkable, really, in several ways.
http://vispo.com/georgie takes you to 170 pictures of Georgie arranged from
birth to near the time of her death.
http://vispo.com/georgie/georgie.htm takes you to something I wrote about
Georgie.
I also wrote the software that displays the photos.
