Wartime Restrictions

Or perhaps, "Remember when Grandma had that cordless phone that looked like a two way radio from an old black and white war movie!"

How cool is that!  These are stories that unfortunately will one day be lost to future generations.  Magneto wall phone...BRoadway 8.  I suppose it will soon be "Remember when Grandma had that big black Nokia that you couldn't even text with!"

Jim, my mom's older sister, Aunt Kathleen, made sure their heritage wasn't lost to future generations by compiling a 29-page booklet that my mom and I printed in MS Publisher for each member of the family, including memories of the store and their life growing up and a family genealogy including a mini-bio of each adult person. It was a huge undertaking. My mom did a floor plan of the store, including their domicile and there are several pages of identified family pictures. So if it's lost to future generations, then it's not because we didn't try.
