At our Image Doctor Photograph Restoration Shop in McDonough we have been using the cracked granny photo that you see here in our advertising for about 15 years. It always has the caption "GRANDMA'S CRACKED, GET HER BACK TOGETHER HERE.Today I got this e mail:
Dear Scott,
This is a picture of my great, great grandmother, Corinthia Knight Newman. I am the person who brought this photo in, in a bag, the middle was in shattered pieces, it had been in the bottom of my mothers cedar chest for years. Originally it was a concave picture on cardboard, or whatever they used back then. I believe I brought it to you around 1994, you were operating on the square in Fayetteville then. I found the picture, and wanted to have it restored for my grandmother, she did not have any photos of her grandmother. You did such a wonderful job with this photo, I really didn't think it could be saved, but you saved it and brought it back to it's original state, it is a treasured family heirloom now.
Corinthia was from West Virginia, my mother and father moved to Georgia in 1972, since then our family tree has expanded, I have family living in McDonough, and drive through the square all the time. I received a call one day from a niece who had spotted your display board in front of your business, she told me it was there. Later my son who also spotted it, told me it was on the big billboard, so I had to pay attention next time I came through the square, and there it was. Corinthia is famous, wow.
Just wanted to thank you for a job well done, and tell you how priceless it is to all our family, hope you have continued success, and bring your magic touch to many more families with irreplaceable photos. It is a great gift, service, and obviously something you are passionate about.
Sincerely,
Bobbi Ferris
Thank you for making our day Bobbi
