[or-roots] La Pine ??

[Pearlsoup at aol.com]

Hi,
I couldn't resist asking if the small town in Nebraska was in Washington 
Co.? Was it Blair or Vacoma or Tekama? Did you return it to its family or just 
the county genealogy society? Do you know any of the last names of the 
family who owned the album?
Just asking because my family was left with a lot of old photos from a 
spinster great aunt and I spent a lot of time researching the people and finding 
descendants to share with and so your album interested me. Hope you don't 
mind all the questions.
Thanks!
