I'm still in the process of scanning everything into my computer...Pop turned out to be a helluva saver when it came to photos, mementos, etc. from places he's been or jobs he held. I'll keep an eye out for PT 300! I'll post some more when I can. Thanks again for the comments!

Thanks Frank...the photo of the 170 burning was Pop's "favorite" - although it is hard to call a photo with a subject like that "favortie."
I finally got all of Pop's stuff scanned into the computer and now I'm in the process of putting it together onto a website - something for the family so they can see all of it no matter where they live. Also, PT Boaters can also check it out...I'll post an update when the site is together. So far, it is coming along nicely!
Also, Colleen...as far as your post above about PT 300...no photos of her, sorry.

Although you already seem committed to what ever website host you've chosen, here's a couple of other options you might consider:
- Use photobucket.com (user name = ptboats, member i.d. = elcopt). You can easily set up a separate subalbum with all your grandfather's photos, similar to what I've done with my PT809 photos. Since this is the photo storage website used by PT Boats Inc., it probably offers best access by all PT boat enthusiasts if they do not specifically know of your website.
- Use multiply.com. Aside from also being free, a big advantage is it allows you to upload much higher resolution photos than photobucket, and you can also sort your photos into multiple albums. You can also restrict portions of the site (albums) to just your family / friends, rather than be open to the public. I've been happy with them for over a year, and have zero experience of spam generated via membership.
Good luck with whatever you do! |
