Eventually I am hoping to create a museum for the Collingdale Historical Society.” Pat is a member of three area Historical Societies and devotes his time to finding family photos at auction that have a name or clue as to their identity, and then researching the names in obituaries and online to find homes for the photos with families connected to them. |
