Recently, my friend Glenna, helped me by scanning hundreds of our 35mm color slides to make digital copies. This project resulted in some very special photos from both sides of our family, going back to the mid 60's. Gary's childhood and teen years were so fun to look at, because I had only seen a few of them. I couldn't wait to post some just because...

The most Price Family photos by far were devoted to waterskiing and boat building. The Price family built their own jet ski boat, one of a couple built with a friend who was hoping to manufacture them. Later Gary's dad gave us the boat, and oh the fun we had with it. I'm including just a few of these boat building photos. If you get bored...just scroll down to the very last one! It's my favorite of the entire box of slides!
