When I was sorting out my mother's things after she passed away, I discovered she'd taken a blueline print hiking map of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington from about 1950-2 and used it to cover a large box into which she'd put all the road maps I'd left in my childhood bedroom with my cross-country trips between 1973 and 1989 marked on them. Additionally, she put all the NGS maps sent with the monthly issues from 1938 to 1965 into that cartifact. Those were the maps I used to look at LONG before I ever decided to become a geographer. Wow! I was blown away when I discovered that treasure trove. v --------------------------------------------- Virginia R.
