I have my grandfather's "Hamilton Open Face Pocket Watch" 24 karat gold watch case, platinum watch face, 23 jewel movement. When I wore 3-piece suits with vest, I wore this pocket watch with a bob-chain.

I have a large chalk pastel picture of flowers that was created my my Great Aunt Lillian.

I have the military medals, that my father was awarded in World War II, Koren War, and Vietnam War.

I also have the Ivory Chess Pieces that he bought from a grateful European, at the end of WWII.

I have my wife's Uncles fly rod and reel, because I rebuilt the fly rod, repairing damaged enamel coating on the black fiberglass fly rod, adding new guides and thread wraps, and sealing the rod surface with some very thinned epoxy. The fly rod (7 weight) still casts beautifully, even being over 60 years old. It's Martin Reel still works flawlessly....

Touch Stone of family members who meant so much to me and my life....
