Lynn in Florida had an experience similar to last week's reprinted story
from a September 12, 2002 Newsletter:

The story from the reader who found a childhood picture of herself taken by
her grandparents displayed in an antique shop reminded me of a similar
incident.  I was browsing in a local antiques mall and came across a stack
of vintage visitorsCÇÖ guides printed by my hometown chamber of commerce. 
Looking through the booklets, which were from the 1960s and '70s, I came
face-to-face with my 16-year-old self, clad in bathing suit and bare feet,
smiling shyly from the back of a boat.  The photo had been taken by a local
photographer during a publicity shoot for a new waterfront development, and
appeared on the cover of the annual visitors' guide a year or two later. 
My mother had kept a copy of the guide when it came out, but it was lost in
a fire many years ago.  I was delighted to see it and, needless to say,
gladly paid the $2 asking price!  Lynn in Florida
