As a Carteret County native and avid reader of your
blog, The Education of an Island Boy, I was wondering what has happened to
the photos that accompanied the stories? On my computer they only show up now
as a circle with a slash. I hope they do return, as it helps give a good
depiction of what it was like during that period.
Thanks again for all your wonderful story telling.

Thanks for the note, and especially for your interest in my
blog. I had noticed the same thing a few weeks ago but as of yet had not
searched to find the reason. Your question spurred me to action.
From my research it appears that the culprit is that I recently
cleaned up some of the old photos that I have edited (and thus stored) using
Google's Picasa photo editor. Picasa backs up all of your photos to your cloud
(google drive) storage. So, when I went online and cleaned up (moved and/or
deleted files) on my google drive, it removed the link that Blogspot (a google
product) uses to match the photos with the blog. So as far as Google is
concerned, the photos are no longer there.
Of course they are still there, but in another place (and on my
local drive), so I will set out to re-attach them in the next few weeks. It may
take a while but I'll eventually get it done.
But thank you for noticing and reminding me that some people
really do follow and enjoy the blog. I am getting closer to putting it all
together, with lots of other narratives, into the book I have planned and
intended for most of my adult life.
