When I was in Schenectady with my mother last month I collected all the family photos I could locate as we began preparing the house for sale. It will take years before I am able to scan them all but it is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. This photo is of my father (lower left), his parents (Ernesto and Rose), his uncle and namesake Frank, and his siblings Ernie and Jacqueline. I may try and add one scanned photo per week to the blog to help sustain momentum on this project.
