Joe Bott was leading a double life until early
in 2016. A US Navy Veteran, he earned degrees from Glassboro State/Rowan
University and Rutgers in Biology and retired from Tyson Food in April
of 2016. His love of pictorial history and identifying people and places
began long ago, but his internet service began in 2001.
In 1998, Joe was literally bitten by the bug. No, not the infamous genealogy
one, but a humble mosquito. This lead to a, still relatively rare, case of
encephalitis. This left him with much time during his recuperation. It was
during this time he began his family history, where his love of historical
photos sparked an idea for utilizing the internet for good: Identify photos and
reunite orphan photos with families. Dead Fred launched - over a dial-up
connection - with 2,000 of Joe's own 15,000 photos, and has continued to grow.
