7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help/Blast from the past


Here's a reprint from the June 25, 2002 newsletter:

In search of a stolen memory a reader sent us this story. I have a passion for 40's and 50's rhinestone jewelry. Several years ago my mother gave me a pair of her rhinestone earrings from the 40's. They were my favorites out of her jewelry and I had always wanted to try them on when I was little. About two years later I was robbed and the earrings were part of what was stolen. Needless to say I was heartbroken. I spent several months looking through pawn

shops hoping to spot mom's earrings with no luck. About 10 years after the robbery I was browsing through a local antique store and spotted the same earrings that had been stolen from me. I was delighted to purchase them back at a reasonable price and regain a special and sentimental part of my mothers life and my childhood.
