Don't be silly I have found many lil tidbits on papers that are great finds
and/or bring back fond memories...and you telling us about your just reminds
the rest of us to be alert for our own.

Like I found a family chart for my Dad that someone had written out for
him--which had two last names of a 3rd gr grandmother and a 4th gr
grandmother...haven't found their families yet but figure atleast I've a a
direction to start looking....

Also found a poem I wrote when I was 18 right after my gr Grandmother
died...which brought back many fond memories of her....

and how touching it was to find that she had saved pictures I drew for
her....

I think it is really neat the treasurers you have found....
sometimes there are some benefits from coming from a line of packrats...LOL

Hugs
Mary
