OMAK - Someone may be missing some family portraits and not even know it.
About a dozen framed portraits showed up at the Omak Senior Center in a box of items left for the center's thrift shop, center volunteer Ellyn Fowler said.
The eight- by 10-inch pictures show a couple young men in military uniforms, a woman, older men and a child. Another portrait shows the child some years later, probably as a teen-ager.
There are no names or identifying marks on the portraits or frames. The pictures are on thin, vellum-type material and appear to be hand-tinted.
Fowler said she's guessing the portraits probably were framed at the same time, possibly in the 1960s or 1970s, since the frames are of the same washed-finish style. The portraits appear to be from different times, with the oldest possibly from the 1920s or 1930s, she said.
Fowler said she'd like to reunite the portraits with their family.
She said anyone with information about the portraits' owner can contact her at the center, 826-4741.
