I just ...I enjoyed your greatly column your column. I just found out that several photos from the Herald's archive of me and my family are being auctioned also. My Dad was a staff photographer there from 1951-85 and took numerous photos of our family for use in the paper over the years. Now they're being auctioned on Ebay. A family group portrait and a photo of a 'going away' card when we traveled to Europe for 8 months have even sold! But I do feel violated by having me family's history up for sale. But having been a newspaper photographer my self for over 40 yrs., I've learned that the bottom line is all that matters to management. It's very sad, growing up as part of the Herald's "family" when the Knight brothers ran it the change to what is now is quite a comedown. But that seems to<br />be the state of newspapers everywhere these days.Bob East IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431831292770024597.post-63595964226781476122013-05-28T16:48:12.682-07:002013-05-28T16:48:12.682-07:00Thank you, Lloyd, really appreciate it!

It is also helpful to have given folks a place for VENTING!
