I'm sorting through it and putting it in piles to give back to those who gave cards, mostly from me, my sisters and all the grandchildren. Have a pile from friends, so many going back into the 20's to 2001 when Mom passed.

There are dance cards from when Mom was a teen, letters from heartthrobs, lol, folks marriage license, all kinds of very interesting stuff.

Will copy for family important things.

But I'm finding a lot of stuff that can be used for genealogy purposes.

And PRICELESS mementos like this:

This was a little card from my brother, who was killed in a car accident in '45 at age 3 1/2, I never knew him.
