Hi Tom, these "Gifts" are even more precious when you hear the stories of "How they came to be", have to agree with Mike about capturing her story now, I`ve started to do that here, am visiting the Aunt of a friend of ours who was a "Hoover Demonstrator" in a large department store to film her thoughts and memories over the years.... Remember Instore Demonstrators....Killer Heels, American Tan legs, Big Hair, Strawberry Blush Lippy...and Attitude as big as....to get that sale!!!....FAB |
