Old Pictures found in shoebox

 I have recently started buying abandoned storage units that go up for auction. Mostly I do it to keep me busy during my off days from my regular 9-5 job. Overall, I find junky items, but I have found a few valuable gems. Not long ago, I started finding boxes of old family pictures as well as  VHS family footage.

Slowly I have been going through the video footage in search of scenes from Laredo and a few have popped up (expect that someday). Also, I have found some good vintage pictures of Laredo that I have decided to rescue from landing in the dumpster. I tried returning the family pictures to the storage manager but he said those units had been "abandoned for years". Because of that, I kept the pictures in order to share with you and in the hopes of finding the family members and be able to return their cherished memories. So help me out  #Laredo! Recognize anyone?
