So, the other day, we were cleaning out our basement and I found a really old suitcase and I asked my mom about and and she told me that it belonged to her father, my grandfather. Let me explain, my grandfather passed away a few years before I was born. He was an amazing man. His family was off the boat from Poland in the early 1900s, he was a minor league baseball player and traveled around with the New York Yankees and drank several times with Babe Ruth, and he even had quite a few pictures of them taken together at the bars they drank together. My mom has them all locked away in a fireproof box. Anway, he enlisted in the US Navy and was in Pearl Harbor the day of the attack and survived. Afterwards, while he was in the Pacific, every letter he sent his sweetheart, my grandmother, were beautiful silk scarves. They were in this old suitcase, all the beautiful silk scarves. They are from the early 1940s and every single one of them look brand new and are in excellent condition.

So CC, have you recently found something that blew your mind away?

Wow that's really cool! I'm so interested in things like that. :P

I've never found anything that really blew my mind away. I'm sure one day I will though. :P

Ohhh, that is so cool. I have never found anything like that from my family.

My dads from NY my mom from Escanaba Mi ...not really much to say interesting wise

Thats cool! Well........I found my mom's old childhood pictures. She used to live in South Korea so it was pretty amazing. Her album also had pictures of her in her 20's. I if i was a guy i would say she looked pretty damn hot! Lucky for my dad. Blushes and runs away to another forum posts

Wow, that's awesome! I wish I could find cool stuff like that. :o

I guess a related thing I've found is that awhile ago I found a yearbook from elementary school. It was nice to look at after not seeing it for about 6 years. We all looked so cute! :P

Yeah. I found out that Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite.

I laughed all night long.
