and does anyone else in your family have that artistic side that you have shown us? Is it something that runs in your family?

(Steerpike is a character from the Gormenghast Trilogy.... is that where your name comes from?)

Spent my first second and third grade school years in Nome Alaska. That was from 1957 to 1960. Some of the best memories of my childhood. Thanks for posting.

was in an assisted living facility and we were visiting her. I happened to notice a shoe box filled with old photos...most of them were deteriorated to one degree or another. I asked her if I could "borrow" the photos and make copies of them. She was very reticent, but I convinced her I would return them in just a couple of days. She reluctantly agreed. I took them home and in a marathon session scanned them all into my computer.
The photos have been displayed on line a couple of times but only as standalone I was watching some Ken Burns "Baseball" and it inspired me to put something together using Adobe Premier Pro. I want to try to do a narration and add some effects....I do like this end result, it took a couple of hours to do and it still feels incomplete, but for now I am satisfied. My main problem right now is that my mother in law could not remember most of the w's in the photos. She has passed on now so identifying people, places and this are problematic.
