Photos Uploaded

I was finally able to upload the photos Ken lent me. They are fairly good quality (the originals area in AMAZING shape!!). it was very time-consuming. I had to re-size and reshape everything, my scanner captured more than just the image. That was a little annoying, but I'm very happy I was able to sit down today for a few hours and really work on the photos. Some of them came out crooked, but I think it's okay and you get the gist of the images. Everything is labeled (usually what was found on the back of the photos) and I will be updating some of the information that Ken told me during the interview.
Photos from WWII

I think it's interesting to note that there are no pictures of Ken from his time in the Pacific. I'm really curious about this; there are a few pictures of him before, and many after the War, but he did not show me any photos of him during the actual war.

It seems like it would be a good idea to add a photo into the written transcript when Ken is talking about a certain photo. It seems less interesting to read the transcript without knowing a the reference. I will have to talk to Diane about this dilemma. Perhaps 2 files would be easier to create, one a little more comprehensive than the other.
