After hubby was out of the service like 20 years, I disposed of his army uniforms and on the same day all his notes from college, back in the fifties and sixties. He was apoplectic. I just think hoarding is incurable.

Especially in these digital "memory hole" days, I would not encourage throwing out important old documents. It's important to distinguish between history and a collection of garbage.

Hubby considers his personal history real history. He just gets attached to things and I don't. Peculiar difference.
