Note from the webpage caretaker, Eric Loomis (arguably the best looking of the Loomis grandsons):
I am still learning/refining my skills on WordPress, so please bear with me on getting posts/pages up. Also, Grandma June has a vast, vast amount of pictures/albums to scan, so I may not get them all in one trip. I’ll get as many as I can each visit, but this may take a few months just to upload them. I will caption as many pictures as I can, but will certainly need help with names and dates, so please don’t get offended if a picture(s) were miscaptioned. If you see a “?” or a word/phrase in [brackets] then I am not certain of the pictures content or date. Please email me or comment on the blog/page if you see a mistake or have knowledge of any of the pictures.
