So true. When I had to clean out my parents' house after my mom died, there were boxes and boxes of photos. Just in boxes, not really organized. Had been saved for years. I gave some thought to scanning them, but ultimately was honest and told myself that nobody had ever looked at these and nobody ever would. So they just got thrown away. Nobody really cares, years later, about day to day minutia preserved like this.
