We have received some more historic photos from Mrs. Diep Suzuki from Japan.  Her photos were accompanied by this email message that includes some poetry.

Hi Peter

Because you have the life time photo series so I want to share with you my very old , old and priceless recollections .. that they are really gone out and never come again I think these photos  are at least some decades before.  Do you agree with me  remembering the old days , that shows we are getting old ???. Hahaha

The photo that your dad sat on the corridor (?) of the house , you know ,   my sibling had ever participate in building it  .
The photo that your grandpa ( my father ) in the mourning clothes is when my grandpa  passed away ( 1965 ??) .
I got a cute poem at 5 years old from my grandpa
< Gia dinh co ma co ba    Anh Loc anh Tho cung la anh Truong    Anh Tich lieng sao kho thuong    Toi la be chi con duong hoc van
Be em chua biet an can ……….>. I think ong Ut knows it .
The photo that we said good-bye with  chu 5 ( 1967 ) was in Tan son Nhat airport
The photo of my lovable uncle ( chu ut lon ) remembers me the days when he stayed in Saigon , because he almost was a good player
( flicking the tamarind seeds) with us . He passed away when I was 14 years old that made me shock alot .
and finally I have some photos of my parents funerals .

Without my mom around a half century , without my dad over 1/4 century , do you think they look at carefully and worry about their children, their offspring’s life???

All these LifeTime photo submissions are wonderful and I’m hoping to receive even more from everyone.  It would be great if you could scan them, but a digital camera will work too.
