Voice
I'm in Tucson, AZ right now... cleaning out my Gramps' apartment. He kept EVERYTHING. Birth certificates, social security cards, my father's report cards, my grandmother's transcript, every card, letter and anything I ever sent him. Talk about pack rat. (But secretly, it's amazing.)
By far, the most incredible thing I ever found are these audio recordings -- blank tapes that my grandparents would use to tape noises. They have me crying as a baby, and best of all, four years of Passover seders with Gramps leading the meal (1986-1989). It's unbelievable, somehow, I now have this captured moment of time of his voice, and he was so happy just to hear his 9-old granddaughter sing the four questions (in better Hebrew than she could now!) and occasionally throw in a "cha-cha-cha" or bang on the table during Dayenu.
Lucky.
