Here's my problem--there is SO much Cleveland history in what I have--newspaper articles, official documents from early formation of the Chamber, it's fascinating stuff and historical...and sitting in a drawer in a bureau in my closet. I have no kids or relatives to pass it on to so it will be ultimately discarded, I am sure. I would gladly send it off--part of it is a leather-bound scrapbook (cover and pages falling apart) that my grandmother kept about her father. There's an article with an amusing cartoon-like graphic of my great-grandfather, Clarence Darrow, and others meeting about something. I just hate it that it is sitting there (in a big ziplock baggie) being wasted, but I have no idea what to do with it. I don't know anyone in Cleveland who would care.

We lived in a large house but only average for Shaker--my grandparents and aunts and uncles lived in the houses you are talking about. Amazing places.
