Another USB – Roswell Bat Mitzvah DELIVERED! To Marla’s Family

By Kelley / June 18, 2015 /

Sometimes there is confusion over how the little block of wood I put in my people’s hands is a USB. And sometimes, there is immediate knowing as they pull it apart. But always, there is a little gasp of excitement and wonder at seeing one of their images on this little device that fits in…
