My father used to say, "What was so good about the 'good old days'? The outhouses? The wood stoves?"... and he would go on.

I look at this 1936 photo and the hard work of these women brings what he said to mind. These are the Walker sisters, ginning cotton in front of their log cabin in Little Greenbrier Cove, Tennessee. Two are turning the wheels and it looks like the third is feeding the cotton through the gin. I bet that they were hot, dusty, and tired!

Old family photos like this provide us with a glimpse into what everyday life was like and reminds us that 'the good old days' sometimes weren't as good as we like to remember.

Everything they did was hard work. We don’t know how easy we have it.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
