That's pretty neat Eugene. Mom had kept a lot of Dad's stuff like that when he had hired help. Nobody seems to know what happened to it all. It and all the old pictures meant a lot to Mom so we know she never threw it away.

Thanks for sharing that with us.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
