Here's a reprint from a September 12, 2002 Newsletter:

I was the first grandchild in our family, so, when I was little, my
grandparents would take a special photo of me each year and have it reproduced
in 8 x 10 size.  These were framed and given to my uncles and aunts as gifts. 
A while back, my husband and I were browsing an antique shop about 30 miles
from our home.  I turned a corner, and there, sitting on a dresser was the
photo taken of me when I was 6 years old!  I immediately started to cry...there
 were so many memories in that photo!  The lady who owned the shop kept looking
 at the photo and at me and saying how much I looked like my old picture.  (I
took that as a compliment...after all, it was that or be depressed about
finding my childhood photograph offered as an antique!) The owner wouldn't take
 any money for the photo.  She just wrapped it and said it belonged with me. 
It now sits proudly in my dining room on a bookcase that once belonged to those
 same grandparents.
