I totally love the souvenir which is so thick it's practically a book. I can't find a comparable, so am going to take it to NOBS and see what the old-timers think. And then I going to stash it under the bed until the 2014 book fair. The reason I had such a great fair last year is because I kept the really good stuff back.<br />tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369932877292375866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30393978.post-57449615379335537082013-08-04T08:33:49.175-05:002013-08-04T08:33:49.175-05:00The Mayflower Hotel piece is gorgeous and a beauti...The Mayflower Hotel piece is gorgeous and a beautiful piece of Akron history. And I love your vivid memories of the Soap Box Derby heydays.

You are a superb photographer and I'm like a six-year-old with an old Kodak. Glad you like the blog though. I have been feeling like I've lost my touch because I used to do three a week sometimes. When you don't write for awhile it gets hard!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369932877292375866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30393978.post-74451332614098189482013-08-03T20:51:16.857-05:002013-08-03T20:51:16.857-05:00Glad to have a post on the old blog.

I wish I could just take the pictures for mine and hire you as my ghost writer!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751989453706523363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30393978.post-33932615401511143602013-08-03T14:06:00.575-05:002013-08-03T14:06:00.575-05:00Thank you for the kind words and encouragement.

But I like THEM a lot too! :-) Seriously, I appreciate you all.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369932877292375866noreply@blogger.com
