[15:54] rond: in her 70's
[15:55] rond: she has a diary
[15:55] rond: of this whole event
[15:55] rond: she was talking about moving the current diary
[15:55] rond: to another nicer book
[15:55] rond: I told her heck no
[15:55] rond: in its original format
[15:56] rond: with the stapled in biz cards from people
[15:56] rond: and little side notes
[15:56] rond: that was a treasure
[15:56] CarlFK: yup
[15:56] rond: that should remain in her family for as long as the can do that
[15:57] rond: I told her that 100 years from now
[15:58] rond: that book will be like looking back to a relative coming out of the 1900 Galveston hurricane
[15:58] rond: and the original hand writing
