Cheryl led a seminar entitled, "Grandma's Yellow Plate." We discussed the significance of memorabilia, and why it is important for heirs not to have to squabble over treasured and sentimental items when you're gone. We also discussed the symbolic value of ordinary items, such as this lunch box which Betty's husband carried back and forth to work for more than 50 years. Sentimental items are also vehicles for storytelling, and this type of oral literature has been with our people since the Anglo-Saxon era in England.
