The day with my son Todd got cancelled so I decided that today I would begin tackling the bins of my photos and memorabilia stored in the basement here. I knew that it would be emotional to go through all the albums and relive events. One of the first albums I opened dealt with Patsy's last days and that just stopped me from going any further. Honestly, I was not at all prepared to relive the hurt and sadness of that most stressful time.
I moved onto other tubs of memorabilia and was shocked what I found there, artworks I thought that I had given away, a tripod, my old pocket watch, my BB pistol and starting pistol, old photos I had kept, and a lot of family history articles. Much of this I often want when I am researching family and friends but it is better left here for posterity. I did find some original family tree pages and important family history documents. I had no earthly idea what I would find there and it is a treasure trove....
I have a good idea what is in the old Hope Chest buried at the bottom of a large pile, definitely Grandpa's old photos and negatives, and old historic keepsakes including a WHA program signed by Gordie Howe, son Marty, and Paul Terbenche. There is also an autograph of tennis star Ivan Lendl.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
