I don't know. Before and after...??

And I didn't mean necessarily for you to post (unless you want, which will leave ME with a huge grin on my face)....but more so, for YOUR FAMILY'S sake...

A number of years ago I took my grandmother to Austin to receive the “Family Land Heritage Award” from Susan Combes (TX Ag Secretary). For a farm that had been continuously operated by the same family for over 100 years. There were some that got 150 year awards at the same time. Some older.

They had photo’s on the stage blown up to 6 feet height. The only single photo was of my great-grandfather, the rest were group photo’s. It took 1/2 a day for my father to regain his composure after seeing that. I have that photo and many others, but don’t plan to post on the web.

We tried to get the blown-up photo, but were unsuccessful. I am sure it cost a lot to produce and they used it with a moving display around the state.

Some of the land my uncle and father work has been in the family for over 110 years.
