The World Needs Heroes

Was doing some digging around at work, since we are packing and moving, and I found a couple things of interest. I found a cassette eraser. Yup, not sure how it works. I don’t have any cassettes I want to erase so it shall remain another one of life’s mysteries. I also found an estate dated in 1940 where his will was written in pencil on a 4 foot long 2 X 4. Yup a hand written Will on a slab of wood. Finally I’ll get to the piece a la resistance. I found another Will dated in 1944 and I have a story behind this one. The guy was pinned underneath his tractor and dieing. He wrote his will in his own blood on the inner fender of his tractor. The piece of fender was cut that he wrote on and placed in with his estate, since it was his only Will. NEATO

Did some more digging at work and found some more intereting things. I’m sure I already posted 1 of thess under War Crimes but I found a bit more on it so I am starting anew.

The 3 above mention blurbs are stickers that were placed on Wills on our estate files. I was packing things up and found a whole bunch of them. If you would like one for your interest let me know. It may be arrangeable.
