The only picture I have of my dad, period, is one that I re-photographed
from the panoramic shot of his 32nd degree Masonic class.  His image on
the old photo is literally "thumb nail" size but I was able to re-photograph 
it
with a good digital camera and have it blown up into an image that is a
fair representation of what a photograph of that era would have looked like.
It's the only physical remembrance I have of him.  It's hanging in front of 
me now.

You are right on so many counts, but Dad looked the happiest when he was
in his work clothes and either working cattle or driving a tractor.  The
high cost of developing was the reason many good times went undocumented.
