Hi James,
I just found your blog site and enjoyed reading a lot of your information. I told my sons that all I want for Christmas is for them to help me develop my website so I can put the PDF files of my mother's and father's life story and other things I've written so they can be made available to family members. These stories have hundreds of pictures in them. Anyway, see you sometime. . . Cecile Scdribner
woops, I spelled my name wrong. . .Cecile Scribner
James, my spaces account is closed. You could change the link to www.flickr.com/photos/pafusion where the Howard photos are posted including one of "The Wives of JR Howard, Commodore of SLC" in the USU Library Archives.
