With the number of relatives that visit this site, I thought it would be nice to publish a page for the purpose of allowing people to view and share the images if they wanted. I know that many people don’t have access to the pictures that we have and we have worked hard to preserve and even edit the originals. Creases have been healed, scratches smoothed out and blemishes removed. There is still much to be done, but for all the Reeds and our friends, I hope this will be a place to come and reminisce, rediscover or find anew.
To view the pictures in their full size, simply click on the image and it will expand. If you’d like to make a comment, there is space beneath where you can add names, places and memories about people. You can continue with the images by using the left and right arrows. If you want to download the pictures for your own use, right click and choose to save to your own computer.
I hope this page is one you revisit often and take the time to introduce yourself in the comment section below!
God Bless,
Jim Reed
