JEFFERSON, Wis. – As many are making new memories this Christmas, a Jefferson man is working to preserve the old ones.
Over the years, memories fade, even those we manage to capture in photographs.
“Like a lot of people with war pictures, those are disappearing,” Kevin Gess said. “The 110s like from the 70s, those are all turning bright red the pictures, the negatives.”
As our memories lose their color, in our minds and in our photographs, Gess wants people to know they’re not lost.
“It’s amazing what we can get back,” he said. “I just don’t want people to throw those memories away when they can be saved.”
