Fading Sights and Stories-

Fading sights and stories- possible future posts.

As the boomers age and we lose them, so do many of the stories we were told, or we experienced. So much was verbal. The face book page “You might be from Amite….” has shown us the pictures, and stories, and in some cases, the places are still “out there”. But for a person visiting the page, it is not easy to see all that there is there, many items posted months or years ago, you must scroll down pages and pages to see.

Edwin Schilling did us a great favor in the two books he prepared on “Amite Now and Then”, but for many they sit on book shelves they cannot see. Robert Vernon, Brenda Bellavia, and I met nearly a year ago and said these things to each other. Without saying it exactly we were thinking “we can do a better job”.

The more that will contribute, it will get better. Please consider, if you have something to share.

We have gotten an approval for a spot at the Amite Chamber office,so we can scan old pictures and do some Lightroom and Photoshop improvements and save them, and return them to you in just a few minutes. We will be posting on FB our plans for times.

Antoinette Girgenti Lane makes a point as she connects to the face book page and blog from her home in Los Angeles. Those that once called Amite home are now spread all over and I believe many still want to connect.
