I had to clear out my moms house a couple of years ago. Unfortunately she was a hoarder so there was alot of junk. My sibs said to just dump everything in the bin but I think I had to take the time to go thru some stuff and I'm glad I did. Saved alot of pics and letters. Some I can read, some pics I can ID but most not so. I did find some treasures. My brothers baby bracelet, Misc treasures. I dumped six huge dumpsters of trash and ended up with about ten office boxes of things to go thru. It's bittersweet for sure.
Good for you Richard. Carry on!
