This is a reprint from 11/1/2002:

I am an only child, only grandchild, only niece etc.... on both sides of my
family.  .....  needless to say I am faced with going through multiple
households of treasures that have been stored away for decades.  One
afternoon I was going through a box of fabrics and sewing items that
belonged to my great -aunt who was a decorator in the 1930's.  I was
picking at an old curtain hem that was weighted in the corners - out of
curiosity I opened the hem to discover seven $5.00 gold pieces. Apparently
my grandmother went through a scandalous divorce and her sister hid a
little emergency money in the curtains!  I now am faithful to comb through
everything carefully before getting rid of it.  My latest find was my
grandmothers report card from 1896 tucked in an old Latin text book.
