Now that we have sold our house in Duluth, there are 100s of moving boxes to open and put their contents away. This posting is a report on the first box to be processed.

When I left Milwaukee (28 years ago) I had a strong feeling that many of the documents I worked with would be valuable again someday. The file folder tabs from the first box of saved documents are shown above.

In the “brass” folder were a few documents from custom displays that were built out of brass. There were only a few jobs made of brass in the ten years I was working there so that folder was easy to throw away.

Mailing lists were a big part of my business. I remember when my girls basketball team got together to stuff envelopes. We were able to purchase basketballs, knee pads, a no-dribble ball and other equipment. Another mailing was done at home and my mother and daughters teamed up to stuff enough envelopes to buy a piano. It cost almost $ 2000.  Last week we paid a guy $110 to take away that same piano.

I will post entries for other boxes that I empty out.

BTW, this whole exercise is mostly for me; to practice typing so that eventually I can qualify as a writer. In the mean time, these entries allow me to memorialize evidence of my genius workflow before I send it to the landfill.
