The whole family has text capable phones - a blessing and a curse. I could keep in touch with them while away for the week, but my own messages are terse and incomplete.<br /><br />Cameron: Your recollection of Ward Parkway is still the case. There are many fabulous houses down by the Plaza.<br /><br />I will make a point of sifting through the records for future posts!Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-88437673860887415072011-11-29T14:48:55.112-06:002011-11-29T14:48:55.112-06:00I love old paper records.

Of course they're less efficient than digital ones, but they are also much more durable -- and they have personality, thanks to the handwriting, the hand-stamped dates, etc. They are also private and secure, when compared to digital records; this is a major concern when it comes to medical files.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-48963274030471159092011-11-29T10:53:26.388-06:002011-11-29T10:53:26.388-06:00I remember Ward Parkway as being spectacular; almo...I remember Ward Parkway as being spectacular; almost unbelievably wealthy. The houses look like small palaces.<br /><br />Very interesting tidbits can be gleaned from these jewelry customer cards!

Give it ten or twenty years and people will be signing their names on a touch screen by drawing an 'X'.<br /><br />Great handwriting on those cards.
