Subject: {not a subscriber} Re: [INWARREN] Worthless Old Stuff
I once bought a couple old wooden boxs at an Estate
Sale one was made into a toy chest on wooden wheels,
the other is a blanket box made out of an old Rail road
packing crate..I paid abt $4.00 for both,they were full
old old maps and letters and a scrap book with family
memorablia in it...I have wondered if maybe this lady
didn't have anyone who cared enough to keep it this was
before I started doing "Genie" in 1988...yes it is
sad...Thanks, Sharon
