Title: Grandparents need help
Post by: Erato on Friday 04 August 23 22:48 BST (UK)
Here you go, Carol ....

My grandparents in Massachusetts, 1957.  It's a shame the photo isn't sharp because it's a good picture of them; it's how I remember them. This picture was taken on the 50th anniversary of their going to Angola as missionaries [actually he went in 1903 and she went in 1907]. As I recall it, the album he was holding was black and green with red and gold decorations.

They are all very good if I can pass an opinion.

I agree, all excellent!  Carol absolutely nailed the album as I recall it.   Inside, it had thick black paper on which hundreds of grateful Angolans had signed their names in white ink.

Burning question, has it survived?
