I have recently been able to scan some old photographs that my Aunt had. There is writing on the back of some of them which I can not read; anyone able to help me with this problem? The pictures seem to be of good quality; Zombolya is printed on the back. J but this is preprinted by the photography. I also have several postcard type prints and other older photos but cant date them either. Thanks for any and all help. You may email me directly bearbruns@gmail.com or reply to the DVHH Mail list. Thanks so much. ~Sandra
