Featured Things left behind in books....

I'd be happy with a new, crisp bill.

Debora

 

I've put them there before......

 

Found an old grocery list from my mother in a book.

 

My father was a design engineer for Chrysler in Detroit. I remember him spending many an evening scribbling away at the dining table with paper, pencil, and manuals.
One evening I sat down and flipped open one of the manuals. On the inside was the signature of John DeLorean! I mentioned it to my dad and he unconcernedly said that everyone shares the old manuals all the time, and that that one had originally belonged to DeLorean. Turns out, of course, that DeLorean had once worked at Chrysler early in his career.

 

Is the signature worth a pile? Not really, unless you're dealing with a mega BTTF fan. But it's cool.

 

I think I see fruit too, but which one do you think is a hat?
I love the spelling of suiker - suijcker.

 

Wow!

 

I read Snuyf there (3 times). Fruit was way too healthy for this person .

 

Once upon a time, I lived across the road from a rather wealthy older couple in Mentone, Al. After the wife died, their daughter was going through her mother's things and found a check made out to her mother for $2 million. It was from the family business, and had never been cashed or canceled. The old woman had used it for a bookmark.

Incidentally, the family was wealthy enough, and the family business successful enough that apparently $2 million didn't matter much.

In a coincidence, the husband had actually dated my grandmother before WW1!

 

Wow, if I had a check for that amount, I would run to the bank lickety split.

 

Yeah, me, too!

 

And tell my boss exactly what I think of him!

 

And then hand a fat chunk of it to the tax man.((sigh))

 

Yes but the rest would be more than happy in my bank account..oh to dream of having that much money.
