Here is where you will find a strange and varied mixture of things which have somehow survived the years.
They are not necessarily the most important things, or the most relevant things, but, hey, they're old and they're here!

ADDED 11/28/05			Courtesy of John Patterson ('59) of Northern VA: "I thought that some of your readers might see the name of a relative and would like to have a picture of their mother, father, grandparent, etc. when they were around 16 or 17 years old. I would be happy to e-mail a high resolution scan to those who are interested. Perhaps you would be so kind as to forward to me any requests from those who e-mail you wanting a picture."
