Old Photographs

I have had photos stuck in some old albums with glue dots on the pages and clear plastic over the photos.  I'd like to remove them because parts of the pages have turned brown and ugly, but sometimes that old glue just won't let go even though it might be all dried out someplace else on the page.  

In desperation I just tried using warm air from my hair dryer to lift a photo off a page and it seems to work!  The photo wanted to curl but I quickly flattened it out under the lid of my scanner.  I'll be trying again after supper tonight, but in the meanwhile, here is a picture from my old field party days.  
John, Hilda and Shorty, and Marcella
Hilda is the woman who gave me the recipe for Pig Pickin' cake and other recipes as well.  Shorty's real name was Lloyd Clinton, but he preferred for us to call him Shorty.
