Although it is far less rude than the correspondence I received 6 months ago I just received this email from my father. I have not responded.
"Mom and I would greatly appciate it if you would return ALL the family pictures. You can of course make copies if you wish, although it doesn't appear its necessary. Please do it ASAP we need them.

Quick note before you give me your thoughts. I have none of the "family pictures" he is accusing me of. He is older and is confused by the electronic "scanned" copies I have made. Between my husband and I we had spent 3 weekends scanning 4 large (unorganized) boxes of photos for a suprise wedding anniversary for my parents. We made a DVD with music and gave them a digital picture album/frame that rotates all their pictures. It was very time consuming. Now I am am being accused of taking them.
