the Normand Family in Soldini House
The text on this page is just a placeholder; I am sure you will want to write a better explanation of the event. As far as the pictures go, you should review each one and decide whether you want to include it or not. You can refer to the pictures using the index numbers and I will know which ones you are talking about. There is the automatic facility to add a short legend that would be placed at the bottom center of the image; you can use this to identify people or comment on the picture. You can comment the pictures individually; not every picture has to have a comment. If for any reason you would like to rearrange the images, feel free to do so. If you like a picture but want to modify it in any way, again just let me know.
As for the pictures your photographer took, you can add them in addition to or in place of any of these images; you can use the index numbers to put them where you want. I will resize them so there are just two slideshows- one for landscape pictures, one for portrait oriented ones. I can also merge all the pictures into one show, but the portrait oriented pictures would end up with borders on each side as the height of the landscape images will be the controlling factor. I can also make each picture bigger or smaller so that the slideshow "box" is the size you would prefer. The current sizes of the pictures in the two shows are 600x450 (landscape) or 375x500 (portrait), but you may change these (although about 500 is the best vertical limit so that pictures will fit on typical screens).
As you can see, there is one movie; you may include it or not as you wish.

The Soldini House in Natchitoches was designed by Italian architect Athaneze Trizzini for his partner, Joseph Soldini. A bricklayer, Soldini purchased the lot from Mrs. Charles Greneaux and built the house. In 1858 he sold it to Chichester Chaplin Sr. The house was originally a one-and-a-half story Greek Revival house with a gallery across the front and back. It was purchased by the Normand family in 1916, and in 1925, it was totally remodeled into the vernacular Italian Renaissance style seen today.
Today's event, held in conjunction with the Louisiana Historical Society, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Normand Family's ownership, maintenance, and improvement of this historic home. On this page are two slide shows of the candid photographs taken during the evening dinner event. To look at the individual pictures, just use the "forward" and "backward" symbols in the lower corners of each image. The index numbers in the upper left corner of each picture will tell you where you are in the slide show.
