Feel bad that family / person was in such bad plight, wish it wasn't so, forget it until a synapse threw the image back into memory and just go on living as I do now.

Kind of sad when I think about that personal reaction.

So in the end, I guess the color does add a new perception to old pictures that I once didn't have, or could understand.
I had a very similar reaction, which makes the realization that these are so old and so well preserved that much more amazing.
