[Mccoypottery-talk] Slow, let's start a conversation!

[Betty Nelson]

I have over the years picked up things that reminded me of various neighbor=
s or relatives as I was struggling to make it to being a teenager.  I have =
had relatives come visiting and point and say "I always wondered what happe=
ned to grandmas......" I always head them off and say "Don't even go there!=
!"  These things really mean as much to me as the ones that were owned by m=
other or grandmother would have.  I think of them when I see or use them.  =
But I do think that the older orginal 'collectors' were people that was spu=
rred on by memories.  Then came the greedy and now we are getting all these=
 younger people that are interested in some of the pieces and lots of the h=
istory.
