JOURNAL/DIARY EPHEMERA, 1955-1966

 Series

Scope and Contents

These 34 files contain ephemera connected to my life between age 15-26, during prep school and college and a few years after college. In my midteens I began saving letters, photographs, dance cards, and other memorabilia, which I kept in a yellow suitcase. The suitcase, full of stuff, was stolen from a friend's car in 1961. A great tragedy for me (and for these archives!). The following files contain remnants I saved.
