Welcome to the James Alva Hendricks Family Blog

Throughout my life I have always been proud to be a Hendricks and to know so many of you. I have tried to live up to those who have gone before us, sacrificing so much so we could live where we live and have the things we have. We are all blessed with such a rich family history, preceded by so many people. This blog is a place where we can collect and share favorite family pictures, stories and memories of who we are. Please feel free to visit as often as possible and if there are things you want to add or correct, please contact any of the contributors listed on the right side panel. Desmond Tutu once said, "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. Let us take the time and remember ours together. Mike

James Hendricks Photos/Second batch

 I finally developed the second batch of old negatives from
Grandpa's tin box. This batch was a lot more worn and
scratched than the first but considering some of them were
 taken in the 1930's- It's amazing they look this good.
If anyone knows how to photoshop the scratches
and/or make the images a little clearer,
I would be happy to email them to you to work on.
(Does anyone know who is in the photo with Grandpa?)

My mom now has the remainder of the negatives which
are mostly scenery and other events from the Pocatello area. 
(trains, planes, track and field races, etc)
We will continue to add them in the coming months as
they are developed so everyone can enjoy them.

(Below photo: not sure? possibly Grandpa?
The sign says Leader How Co. American Falls Idaho)
The remainder of the photos(below)
are of James and Ione.
I assume during their courtship in the early 1930's.

(My mom told me today that they would often go to
Craters of the Moon and explore the caves on ropes. 
 We wondered if the photo of Grandpa
standing on the mountain of rocks was taken there.)
