    This is a reprint from 11/1/2002:

    I am an only child, only grandchild, only niece etc.... on both sides of my family. ..... needless to say I am faced with going through multiple households of treasures that have been stored away for decades. One afternoon I was going through a box of fabrics and sewing items that belonged to my great
    -aunt who was a decorator in the 1930's. I was picking at an old curtain hem that was weighted in the corners - out of curiosity I opened the hem to discover seven $5.00 gold pieces. Apparently my grandmother went through a scandalous divorce and her sister hid a little emergency money in the curtains!
    I now am faithful to comb through everything carefully before getting rid of it. My latest find was my grandmothers report card from 1896 tucked in an old Latin text book. Mitchel R.
