Unhappy Find

I'm in the process of cleaning out four bins of old paperwork, mostly related to my rookie year in Publishing. While sorting through the manuscripts and proofs I found these in a folder:

One of the houses we once owned had two newspapers tucked away in a closet, one was when WWII started and the other was when it ended. I thought it was a treasure. It's likely Oliver will be just as fascinated. Why not create a time capsule for him to be opened on his 30th birthday?

What I'd give to have such a gift from my grandmother.
