As the eldest "son" of a New England Dairy Farmer I've often thought of "visual historiography" in the context pride-of-family and family history. However, I never made it the priority you have in your context. Your work moves me to vicariously experience what might have been. Yet, over the years I have accumulated thousands of Kodachrome slides recording life on our farms at Cummington and Westfield, MA..an unorganized visual history with only a potential to add depth to pride-of-family history, and the potential of a story about a way of life rapidly fading into history. I admire your goal. I want to encourage you. I sense you're achieving your goal and suppose that's the incremental measure of success. Dr. Leon Pomeroy, Northern Virginia, USA
