A way to let people know why you have saved certain items (so they won't think you were crazy) and they will know the history and then make an informed choice on whether or not to keep the item(s). Your descriptions are wonderful. Even brought back memories of my first transitor radio (it was so cool!). Have a great weekend.c.

My dad passed away last year and I feel the desire/need, to document his and my families life too. <br /><br />I especially got a smile out of the story about the transistor radio and sports game. My dad did the same thing! One game on the radio and another on the television and he'd be yelling "You bum" or something about a play that had been made and we were never sure what was going on. <br /><br />Thanks for the memories and much good luck to you in writing down your family stories.Sally Annie Magundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150258920599400128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580314740488469031.post-82762513933397990322012-01-12T15:52:00.828-07:002012-01-12T15:52:00.828-07:00You are very fortunate to have so many of your fam...You are very fortunate to have so many of your families treasures.
