Every picture tells a story!

Have you ever found a box of photographs from your family’s past which show interesting faces and places, but are unlabeled?  Local history buff Joe Fondy has had a similar experience, and will discuss how important it is to ask older relatives to identify pictures and label them.  Mr. Fondy, who has lived in the Inland Empire most of his life, has also painstakingly gathered hundreds of San Bernardino-area photographs from various online platforms over the past several years.  This presentation will encourage audience members to see if they recognize any of the people or places in the images.  Who knows, maybe you will see a photo in his presentation which brings back memories, or helps you learn more about some of the pictures in your own collection of photographs of unidentified people and places.
The program (barring any unforeseen issues) will be available to view on Z00M.
