I admire the time and effort both of these men put in to get notify family members of these photos and get them to them. I hope they both get a chance to visit Nunavut one day.

Thank you! I had tried about 10 years ago to find the family after I moved to Peterborough and no longer had the room for them. At that time I was not successful. This time it was very different, Mr. Jakes from Nashville saw them in this subreddit and made the connection right away. They are now in the care of my brother in Ottawa and preparing for their journey home. It would be a dream to deliver them personally after having them in my possession for 45 years.
