Y'all. We have been rearranging things in the house (ie, clutter), and I have uneartherd so many jewels from my past. College yearbook photos, stuffed animals, greeting cards, and LETTERS. Remember letters?
I KEPT ALL OF THEM.
Like this one, from my still-buddy Lyn, quoted in full:

Hello!
Well I have lots to tell you!
First of all, the "trial" was today...and...we waited for 1 hr. 45 mins, got up on the stand, waited for Officer Wade to get there, and the, they said "Thank you for helping us catch the real vandals, you're dismissed!" Just like that, The whole case dismissed! I has pretty happy.
Anyway, KD was fun - very hot, but fun. Flintstone Follies hadn't opened yet, they were still in rehearsal w/opening yesterday. Chris was really funny. I went looking for him & gave him your greetings. He invited us to a complete run-through of the show. We went back and Beth and I got used. This guy jumped off the stage, grabbed us and made us go up and dance during the audience participation number. I had to dance with Lem B (Remember? from Madisonians). I had a blast. Chris has lots of solos and he even gets to walk in the audience and serenade the ladies w/ 'Breakin' up is hard to do.' He is super. His voice is perfectly suited for that. Scott Babcock plays drums for that show too. Chris says that his outfit is hot pink. I'll be it looks good though. Oh! He got something done to his hair - it's still perfect, but ti's short and wavy - I think it's a perm.
Anyway...I'm at work - 2-11`, then 6 a.m. tomorrow. Yeah! Herb is manager in charge tonight - he's a trip!
I'm on break, I have to go back in 5 mins and I probably won't finish this until tomorrow.
Jack was really cute - he called this a.m. before I left for court and told me not to bed nervous. Then he calle fomr work, when I got home to find the 'verdict.' He also promised to help me celebrate my B-day on Sat. evening. Beth will too, I'm sure.
Amy and Liz gave me strawberry everything! Shampoo, bubble bath, candy, gum, lipgloss, air freshener for the car, etc...It was hilarious, but I love it.
Sam called and may come down the weekend of the 27th. I hope so, that'll be fun.
Herb just came by and I thought he was going to yell at me for writing this on his time. Instead he said 'Tell Kerry I think she's really cute!" (watch Kerry' head swell!) I told him you said he was too, when you were here. Too bad he's married, eh?
I wrote Audrey today and caught her up on everything.
Well, I gotta go - write soon and tell Mom, Dad, Kirk, and David hello!
Love ya,
Lyn

Lyn? I have no idea who Herb is.
Or Jack.
The rest of y'all I remember.
We'd known one another almost one whole year by thins point.
We've been friends now for almost 35.
God we're old.
Tiff out.

I kept all my letters and cards until we moved out of the big house; then I tossed them all. I really wish I hadn't. It is so nice to reread them on occasion.
I have held on to a select few. Many moves, many changes. Precious memories. Like letters as much, if not more than photos.
