More Memorabilia

Ticket Stub from First Concert I Attended

Age 16          
Duffy and Becki
I am sure that a couple more H'burgers made it there, even though I did not know them.
I am sure this was a really great Fred Astaire movie.  I watched a lot of them during this era.

Aww, Stuff
I need a study where I can hang my plaques and certificates.  Figure out how to contact me if you seriously are interested in my collectables.

Digeridoo

Digeridoo:  Stop by to pick this up, if it is yours.  I might ship it to my new home when I know what the address is.  Do you remember the days when we could just leave things at the USM library and they would find the right person?  In my teen diary I nicknamed Stuart FRO.
