    when a young person comes for the first time, they get told here are your bones. The bones of your ancestor whanau/family.

    Not just your ancestors, but your neighbors as well. The pioneers who built your community, and contributed to the blessings you have today. If you work with cemeteries you may be familiar with Find a Grave. I walk cemeteries and make sure every market is recorded. The markers themselves can get damaged, become illegible, and certainly can't be searched online, but once it gets recorded online it the record is preserved.

    Most people are totally forgotten within 3 generations, even most who (think they) are famous now.
    So I don't mind and accept that I will be totally forgotten as well.

    This is one reason I do genealogy, and volunteer my time to contribute to the genealogical record, to help preserve the memory of people.

    I love your photos and have got into the habit of firstly looking at your intense facial expression, then your tee shirt logo, then the setting.  Fab room decoration, but HILARIOUS  pizza box logo.  :D 

    Thank you, but I can't take credit for the pizza box, other than incorporating it into the picture. It is a part of the decorations in the lobby of the motel in Mother Road
