An Opening Post

I originally posted this on another blog page.  It felt very out of place.  So, I decided to create a blog for the Nider Family so that I can give them the respect and attention they deserve.  So, Mark, Wad, Marion, and all of your kin, here we go:

I am slowly sorting through several photograph collections.  I wanted to share a couple of images taken by my Father-in-Law.  Mark Nider served in the China-Burma-India theater of  World War Two.  He took hundreds of photographs and gave each one a title.  Here are just two.  The first is entitled "Burma" and the second "paddies."  They are interesting photographs.  It will take some time and thought to really understand his collections.  But here is just an example of what he witnessed and experienced.  It also well documents the work that lay ahead for the men that served in this particular area during the war.
