[QUOTE="donna723, post: 21762, member: 1883"] Martie, the room the framed pieces are in is a very dark, unused bedroom. I know that's not the ideal place to put them, but I figured it was better than leaving them rolled up a plastic bag. It actually took me a long time to get brave enough to touch them for fear I'd damage them ... wonder what kind of "experts" you would consult that would know about these things? I did scan the covers and several pages of the magazine to send to relatives. It's hard to do though because it's impossible to push it flat to the glass without damaging it, so some only copied the outside half of the pages. It's only about 7" wide and held together with very big staple-like things, so it just doesn't go flat. You know, I've wondered about that too ... when my kids were little I used to think all the time that probably neither one of them would have survived their childhood if they had been born in earlier times. My daughter would have been stillborn or severely impaired if it were not for the expert medical intervention at her birth. She had pneumonia three times and seizures bad enough to land her in Intensive Care, all before she turned three. My son too had occasional unexplained seizures until he was about six or seven. Both kids had very bad allergies and so many ear infections, I hate to think where they would have been without modern antibiotics. Both would have probably lost their hearing. And all the cases of bronchitus and strep they had that were cured with countless bottles of "pink stuff" from the pharmacy ... probably would have turned into pneumonia in earlier days. It's really something to think about. Back in my grandparents day, most people had very large families, and most families had lost a child or two. I knew that my grandmother had a brother and a sister. I never knew until seeing a detailed family tree recently that when my grandmother was five, she lost a seven year old sister and a baby brother - both in the same year.
