Hi Denise -

Great news! You never know what you might find
hidden away.

I just wanted to send you a note to say DON'T laminate.

Just put them in some archival safe sheet protectors.
You can find them at Staples or Office Max - even at
Walmart, or a craft store in the scrapbook section.

Laminating is really bad - it makes the papers deteriorate
after a time - and then there's nothing you can do to fix them.

Hope your mom is recuperating [maybe you should check
out the basement & the attic while you're there] LOL

Lisa
