LOST BOOK AT EXHIBIT!!!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your help and also it was a great experience.

Another thing is I left a book at the exhibit in the room where the reception thing was. The books name is Charm! and the author is Kendall Hart. The book is I believe white with blue binding. It is a hard cover book and it is my mom's so I am freaking out. Please get back to me as soon as possible to let me know if you have found the book.

Thank-you

Opinions Anybody?

Thanks for the help. I am going to do the collage and try to put the pictures I have in a semi-chronological order or a more definite chronological order. I have a few pictures of him growing up and I was thinking of putting those around the area with the birth certificate and then putting the wedding pictures around the marriage certificate and then putting the divorce papers with a picture I have of him in jail. Can anyone tell me how they think this sounds? I have started this process already and I am not really far on it so I am hoping anyone can tell me now if they have a better idea.

Discouraged

I've gotten further in my project but I am getting frustrated and discouraged. I have lost the courage to continue in this project but it is too late to change now. So now what? I have pictures, a wedding certificate, divorce papers, and a birth certificate. I plan on putting these into like a collage with the wedding certificate, divorce papers, and birth certificate in the middle and the pictures in a somewhat chronological order. Can anyone give me their opinion about this or give me another idea? Thank-you

CONFUSEDD

I have found all the pictures from my dad's wedding and i have their marriage certificate but i am stuck on what to do next. I have interviewed both my Aunt and his first wife. My mom won't let me interview his current wife!! so i don't know what to do now. Please give me some ideas on what to do with this information. Also if any one can help me find old newspaper articles from 1998 and 2003 that would be very helpful.

Need Help????

i am doing the project on my family's experience when we were living in india. i got all the documents such as pics, copy of my dad's college degree his ID card from India and things like that which might explain something about the indian culture but i have no idea how to put all this together the due date is coming closer and i still dont know how to put this all together so plz help give me at least some ideas on how i should make the final project.

last night while falling asleep, i couldnt get this project out of my head.

i was thinking about the final project and what i should do for it.

i originally thought of making my own notebook with copies from our notebooks and pictures, along with the interview for this project and maybe some other things.

im not sure this is a good idea though and im not sure how exactly i would go about making the copies and everything look neat and fit into a nice looking notebook. 

im trying to maybe think of some other ideas but im having trouble..

Pleading Insanity

we went to the Yale Archives and it was really cool. On the way back, Stephanie Matto and I were talking about something we found very interesting. Then it hit us, Lets team up and do this! We were discussing the old insane asylum in Newton, Fairfeild Hills. It is a legend and there are so many different stories about it that we want to get down in writing after having done extensive research. We decided that if we get the permission to do this then we can use the information we learned yesterday and actually go to the archives on our own time and do further research. So after discussing it with Mr. Murphy, he said it sounded like a great idea and we should do it with your permission to team up and change our topics. Please post back as soon as possible!
