Good morning, kittens & dawgs! It’s Friday. Join me in linking with photographers across the globe in Skywatch Friday.

For Flashback Friday, I wanted to share this old news article on my DH’s grandpa. We scanned the original. The paper is yellow and a bit difficult to read, so I converted the image to B&W. Click to enlarge, it really makes a difference! Read Grandpa’s harrowing account of the worst storm of his life beginning in paragraph three.

One Christmas, we printed, matted, and framed this article as a present to my in-laws. It turned out nice, too.

Before you go, you may want to link your photographic wonder to this week’s WW linkup party. Thank you for making me apart of your day.  Please leave a comment so I know you came and I will hop over to your place. Have a foto-tastic day!

  1. I love reading old papers, magazines or catalogs – history is amazing! And we evolved from it 🙂
    Skywatch sounds like a very interesting meme…

    1. In 1982, the World’s Fair Expo was held here in Knoxville, TN. In my blog archives, you can learn a bit here & here. Of course, Google will have more to share. The ’82 World’s Fair was a magical time! Thanks for stopping by!
