Tripping Down Memory Lane

Husband Ben and I finally wrestled my box 'o memories out from the shed today. All I can say is that I'm a genuine, bonified, packrat. I sit here surrounded by a pile of "treasures" like:

1. My driver's permit
2. Several Junior High yearbooks
3. A rock from Camp Wascowitz
4. A note dated June 12, 1980 that reads:
"Morgan G. Springer will kiss Jennifer Egge on the last day of school. Signed, Morgan S."
5. Every A.S.B. card ever issued in my name
6. My Outside Reading List for Sophomore Honors English (No kidding. Ahem.)

If you are a fellow packrat and can finagle someone into helping you lug your childhood memories back into the light of day, I'd love to hear what you've been holding onto. If you're like me, that could be your wisdom teeth, a 3rd place ribbon from the Cathcard Elementary School Broad Jump Competition in 1979, a Holly Hobby watch from 1977, a Sonics World Champs button from 1979 . . . .

Do You Have Skills?

Crafty skills, that is.

We're looking for a few good men, well women more likely, who are willing and able to help put together the memorabilia type decorations for the Saturday night event. I want to make sure my message is clear here: HELP!

This type of involvement can be done in the comfort of your own home, (heck, even in the comfort of your own bathrobe for all I care) but will also need to be started well ahead of time. We're not going to want to stay up the night before throwing together cool displays. If craftiness is your gig, please (PLEASE) contact Lisa Gable (gablelisa (at) comcast.net) asap.

For those of you who are more . . . craft-impaired, I urge you to send in memorabilia stuff to the craft team (pictures, copies of newspaper clippings, lettermen jackets, etc.) - the more the merrier. If we get too much, we'll let you know.

If you're worried about getting the originals back in less than stellar shape, go ahead and scan 'em first (highly recommended) and then send them to Lisa.

Thanks!

p.s. for those of you who don't get the Napoleon Dynamite reference, well, you're just going to have to watch the movie.
