nyskidooerinnewhampshire Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) WOW.......Showed photos to wife & eldest daughter & they immediately became traumatized. They are now suffering from PTSD from a February trip 4+- years back. Brought back a load of memories & great conversation. Wifes standing over my shoulder viewing the photos. Wife verbally states, "flashback". Daughter is in Maryland viewing photos at my request . Daughter texts back, "flashback". Identical responses. Two peas in a pod. Again, Thanks JG for your efforts & photos. Stay safe....
