Or throw them out. When a friend and I haunted the last open air burning dump near New Orleans, I found a scrap album kept obviously by a Marine's mother. News paper clippings of his unit making practice landing on the Lake Ponchartrain seawall, his detachment being the first U.S. military to Iceland, and his eventual return from the Pacific with a permission for a souvenir Japanese blanket. The album has been either lost or hopefully misplaced following hurricane Katrina.
