The Digital PHOTO CARD I FOUND! ANAHEIM HELP PLEASE!

[Lollipop's Mom]

Ok...
It just clued into my - my photo printer can read this card!

Oh man this family must be crying - over 370 photos/videos from all kinds of stuff, including baby photos.

So there are tons of photos that look like they were taken before they came to Anaheim - at a military type event with families.

Then there are photos I believe were taken in a high school gym - most likely Anaheim, as there is a big A on the wall.
It appears to be a Native American family who attended some sort of event where they were competing with flag routines in a high school gym. It says Eagles Pride on the areas around the gym.
So with google searching -Eagles Pride seems to be some sort of event that happens around the country, but also I am thinking it could be a high school with their team mascot being the Eagles.

So I found an anaheim middle school that has the Eagles and phoned them and have sent them photos - it is not their gym, but she is seeing what she can do.

Then there are 2 days of disneyland photos - it looks like they went to DCA one day and DL the next, and seemed very 'tourist' type photos - they dont seem like locals because they have tons of photos that locals wouldn't bother with anymore.

Ok so here is one photo.... any idea of where this gym is? I can't get good clear ones yet because I have to take a photo of the photo on my photo printer....

I can't really help but was just thinking that it could possibly be locals since you said it looked like they did DCA one day and DL the next. They could have had the 2fer tickets. I know that doesn't really help though.

I think i remember you said you found it on a bus? Have you tried contacting the bus company to see if anyone has called about it?

Is there a video of the flag event? Maybe someone introducing the team about to perform?

Oh good news! I am such a dork - but realized there was a reader for this card on the back of my computer and downloading now!

You may want to check the camera for clues.... Ask the manufacturer if they sent in their registration for the camera...

OMG OMG I have a name!!! I blew up a photo and have their name on their army uniform, an organization in the fundraising photos, and found them on facebook!!!! Hopefully a happy ending soon!

I think it's great that you are going to such lengths to find the owner. Keep us posted!

Not a camera...just the CARD.

- May everyone who ever loses photo cards / cameras have them found by someone willing to put as much effort into locating the owner as you have. Way to go!

- Found a name and on FB! -WOW! Nice work!

- I was trying to help and was trying to locate flag competitions (my guess on that one picture you posted) and I have a question that now may be irrelevant, but am hoping you will answer just to fill my Sherlock Holmes-ness. The top of the photo has an A that is cut off. Can you tell if that is the A from the Angels?

Here's the original post regarding finding the card.

I know exactly where that was from -- Arcadia High School (eagle pride). They had a WGI power regional on March 8th. WGI is competive color guard (like the flag girls in marching bands) and percussion ensembles (usually high school or independant groups) that compete with very elaborate theatrical shows. I used to compete in a world class percussion ensemble 2003-2006 --- some of the greatest years of my life .

If anyone is interested, type in WGI into youtube and you'll see what I am talking about.

Thank you so much!

That's exactly what I was searching for! GMTA! I was trying to figure out the "A." Good find!

You are awsome to track these people down! I know I would be so heartbroken to lose my photos - hopefully if I ever lose anything, you will find it

 

[mkammer22]

Its a little northwest of Anaheim towards LA. Groups come from all over the country to compete and most will try to squeeze at least one or two disneyland days into their trip.

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

Thanks! I called that competition place and the woman said (and I quote) "I am really sorry we have hundreds of competitions and I am really not able or willing to help you".
Ooooooooook then!

So I right clicked on the photos and seems the flag stuff was taken on March 10th, and then disney photos not until March 15/16.

Keep digging!

 

[Mycutekitties]

You are wonderful for looking into it like you have.

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

On the phone with Arcadia High School - no one seems to believe I would go to this length to find them - but why wouldn't I? Its only a couple hours of my time and there are priceless photos on here!

I so hope this story has a happy ending. Either way, it is absolutely amazing how much work you have put into reuniting this family with their precious memories OP. Thank you for being a reminder that there are wonderful people left in the world.

I keep Googling and can't find Arcadia High School, Flags, with that date. Hmmmmm...... Still searching....

ETA: I found the daily school bulletin with all event announcements. Nothing about WGI or Flag competition. - boo -
