Hidden treasures.

I just found a treasure trove of stuff in an old storage box. The Chronicle Extra from the Loma Prieta quake. The San Jose News from the Apollo 11 landing. One of my father's photo albums from before he came to the US. My Great-Grandfather's military records. Amazing stuff. Need to get some of these photos scanned in. There's one of my father in his cadet uniform that I'd love to put up with one of my portraits from Infantry OSUT. Photos of my Great-grandfather taken during the Boer War (He fought at Elandslaagte and was one of the besieged troops at Ladysmith)... enough documentation to make ancestry.com sit up and beg. I'm going to get it all organized and entered, and see what I get from it.

Oh, and an autographed photo of Louis Armstrong.
