Speaking of National Geographic ....

When we bought the house in Florida back in 2001, the seller cleaned the
place out clean as a whistle, except for two big boxes buried in a
storage
area under some stairs. I pulled them out, opened them, and they
contained
every issue of National Geographic from 1964 to 1998. What a find! I
thought about contacting the seller, but decided that "you snooze, you
lose".

Got them all up here now.

I inherited my father in-law's collection - pretty much the same
period - a few years earlier than yours.

It's a lot of fun going through them from time-to-time.- Hide quoted

I have a bunch of old Nat Geo's too. Another cool thing we have is a
set of Encyclopedias from the 60's with the yearly updates and such...


Anyone have or remember the "Lincoln Library"? It was a cross between an
encyclopedia and a huge dictionary. Did most of my grade school homework
with it's assistance. Black leather covers and really, really thin pages.
It's unreal to think about this now-a-days. How did we possibly get
through school without "Google"?

Not this family. Latest arrival was my great grandfather from Ireland.
Mom's side, had relatives that were residents of New Haven, Connecticut in
1757. Mom's grandfather was an Ohio Regular in the Civil war. Plus a
branch of the family founded a town in Iowa when the wagon train split.
Dad's mom's side was Penn. Dutch. Do not know of any Canucks in the tree.

My uncle had stacks upon stacks of old Geographics. I used to go in
there and just sit and look at them for hours, I especially liked the
ads in the '40's.

Scientific American did a piece on the western US sinking in to the sea
because of all the saved NG's. Was a hilarious piece. I think was in the
1960's or so.
