All of my pictures on Flickr are already hi-res scans and can be downloaded at their full size from the site. I actually scanned the front and the writing on the back of each picture and made it one *.tif file, with two images inside. Those Tiff files are pretty big. If anybody wants those "original" full quality scans with front and back, I can gladly send them to you. I think in total they're around 2GB or 3GB. Easily fit on a flash drive in the mail. I've got a video interview with my grandpa from 2013-2014 before he passed. I haven't been able to edit it yet, but I'm hoping to tackle that soon. Hopefully that can add to the history mystery too.

Sam,

 

Count me in when it comes to getting the tif files. I'll message you with mailing info and please don't hesitate to let me know the cost and I'll drop payment in the mail. Need to keep this as low maintenance as possible for you since you already did the work of scanning them and keep your costs down. I did remember that you had mentioned you had done some video interviews with your grandfather. What a treasure as most of us either did not have the foresight or opportunity for similar endeavors with our relatives. I'm sure there is still some pain from your grandfather passing away earlier this year so there is truly no pressure from any of us when it comes to the videos. Be assured they will be a welcome addition and will be respected and appreciated by all, but clearly you need to do your thing with them on your own timetable and we all respect that. They will definitely be one of the cornerstones of your grandfather's legacy of service to family and country.

 

Thanks for this opportunity, my friend. I'll message you momentarily.
