Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Memories, Scrapbooks, Photos, etc.

[Debbie Behrens (dlbehrens893]

Yeah!!!!!

There were some coho songs that were sung at a conference 
(possibly the one in Philly or Seattle?) decades ago.
I was so sorry I never got a copy of them to save. They were really FUN.
Can’t even remember who might have written them.

Also, related to community, keeping track of ex-residents.
Regards photos, writing down the names of who was in them before we forget.
Once photos are only digital, if the media isn’t saved, the photos are all lost 
too.

Best
Debbie B
