I have kept some letters from my parents when I was working abroad for a year, and following the news of my pregnancy and then birth of our daughter . And of course I have letters friom my then fiance now husband <br /><br />Wendy - I never knew my great uncle George sang in the church choir, until I read it in a newspaper notice, following his death in 1916 - my father was singing in the same choir 40 years later. and both my mother and I sang in choirs, so this link in our interests was a lovely fact to discover.<br /><br />Kristin - like you I look back on what I wish I had not thrown away. I had a major de-cluttering just prior to my marriage as we were moving into a small flat - so out went my old school photographs and teens to 20's diaries - with a further clear out when my parents downsized, so I no longer had space with them. I have kept old programmes of shows and concerts where I was listed in the cast and work related items, such as photographs, annual reports and publications I worked on. <br />ScotSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412874349376253984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-63328134033816681182015-04-14T18:46:55.523+01:002015-04-14T18:46:55.523+01:00Old letters are such a cool find! :)Old letters are such a cool find! :)David P.

There is a picture of my dad who was on the social committee - I didn't even know he was a member of a golf club. <br />~Visiting from AtoZWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-67025244165890136622015-04-14T16:26:18.796+01:002015-04-14T16:26:18.796+01:00I used to write letters back and forth with both m...I used to write letters back and forth with both my mother and my sister. We had saved all those letters and one day after reading in Don Juan that we shouldn't hold on to the past, I threw them all away! If I could only go back and get those letters. I was supposed to hold on to the past. I do have many other letters that I still have.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-12910068154164297562015-04-14T13:33:38.649+01:002015-04-14T13:33:38.649+01:00my mother and I used to correspond back and worth ...my mother and I used to correspond back and worth with snail mail all the time for years we shared weekly letters with each other.
