My grandmother died recently, and I can definately agree with that statement. Anyway, after my Grandmother passed away we began looking through her house and found all sorts of things. We didn't take much because my Grandfather is still living, but here are some notable items:
-18 Page letter from WW1 detailing my Great Grandfather's experiences there. It is dated 1918.
-Old tourist's map of Southern Africa detailing hotels and gas stations. We are not sure how old it is, however it includes the former countries that became South Africa in 1910.
-Several old cameras from the 50's onward, including a 1951 Kodak Tourist.
-Newspapers from a local paper when JFK was assinated, as well as follow up papers detailing the trials. They are in amazing condition and have not been touched since they were placed in the cabinet we found them in.
