Photos of kids and social groups

Many photos were provided during the years that the Fairfield history was being gathered, sorted, recorded -- and essentially left to its own devices. Those will stay in the dustbin of time.

1. Nobody remembers these people.

2. It's no longer interesting.

Why it's no longer interesting is that group and school photos from the 1940s are essentially all alike. They meant something at the time, and the people who it meant something to are long gone. We are talking an entire lifetime or two In some cases, three or four generations. 

Those who will be looking for Fairfield history in the future are probably looking for evidence that the town had any supportive value. That's always subjective. In any case, most photos we received over the years were less-than-complete about identifying the people being photographed. We tried to fill in some of the blanks with marginal success. It stopped mattering.
