Re: letting go
My son and I were just looking at a quilt my wife's great grandmother had made and my wife inherited. Her grandmother was 98 so it's pretty old quilt in awesome shape. Hand stitched with pieces so small I was amazed she'd even used them. You did what you had to... The material is the kind that wouldn't be comfortable touching your skin but it would be very warm. My son is an old soul and loves the past and it's people. I told him he should ask his mom now for the quilt if he wants it. He will respect and care for it. Value comes into play in anything collectible but the people I respect the most value the history of the item more than money.
Steve I hope your car went to someone who loves history and makes sure it's story is told. That's what's important to me, the story. Some of us think were insignificant, myself included but in a hundred years the story is as important as the item,,,, atleast to me.
Good luck Steve and I hope you fair well with your health.
