From the Collection – Noel

Perusing archival material in the JHS collection, we came upon a reminiscence titled “Noel” that was written by W. L. Watson, December 1948. Among Mr. Watson’s thoughtful words about family holidays and summer visits at the Carr homestead, he reflects upon the value of memories and the importance of keeping them. A good reminder as we reflect on 2020.

Decades ago the home movie recordings made by 8 MM and 16 MM films were a sure fire way to get everyone together to remember big events and familiy holidays. We encourage you to take the time and look through the JHS collection of old photos and movies and see what memory or snapshot you can find that will tell a story you didn’t know.
