GD: LOVE the poll choices!

DD: The story is, my grandmother was a newspaper editor. She took my dad and two cousins to Disneyland on July 17th. Every child that went got a brass key that was good for free Disneyland admission for the rest of their lives. Well, this was back when you still had to pay for rides. But anyway, of the three my family recieved, one remained, and was given to me as a birthday gift some 15 or so years ago by my cousin. It's the only thing I have with any connection to my grandmother, and above that, also carries value as an opening day item and as lifetime admission (problem is, as we learned the year the key was given to me, you'd have to trade the key in for the lifetime pass!). However, this IS a great occasion to bring it out.

Also, I really need to figure out how to get some old timer that still remembers the keys to validate it in some official way before everyone who remembers them is dead or gone. I was trying to figure out a way to offer to loan it to Disney for the 50th exhibit, but I've basically dropped the ball on that, haven't I? That would have been the numero uno way to get official recognition that couldn't be refuted when people retire.

Anyway, if I bring it, I'm going to have to be careful all day not to lose it, but if it's around my neck I think it shouldn't be a problem?
