I am cleaning up the home office and ended up throwing out this collection of business cards. I still have nearly thousand in another file.

I cleaned mine out about ten years ago. It was really hard throwing some of them away. There was some great stuff they and me had written on the back of them. A real trip down memory lane.

Realized that most were out of business, retired or dead. :Jeff '79: Besides all the ones I was contacting were on one of several computers.

I combined them into one contact list shortly after that. :cert:

I know. I went through them about 10 years ago. So many are gone.

I've got about 15 years of Franklin Day Planners I can't bring myself to toss out.

For the same reasons.

There is a guy in our company that it seems like every three months has a new title. Not necessarily promotion but just a new title. They have been in finance, IT, business development, operations, etc.

I have said before he could paper a wall of his office with all the different business cards he has had

Just going through old friends numbers and contacts I have on written on scraps and cards I have saved in an old box not long ago.

Most all have moved on so the info is no good anymore, and many are dead now.

Kinda sad going though stuff like that.

Some you just wonder what ever happened to them, how and what they are doing..

Back around '91-92 Mom fell and broke her hip/back, so at age 84 , off to the nursing home.....Dad was in the insurance business from pounding the streets in early 30's depression of Cleveland Ohio, to EVP of two different insurance companies one of which transferred him to Wash DC , first location there was a roach infested apt in No. Va......then they bought the house I was born in, then it was sold with a Xfer to W. Va. Dad not liking the territory....so back to the DC region and a house down the street that I got older in.....

but with a business/sales history like that and their penchant to keep careful records, as Mom used to do for various department stores, the home office was one decent size upstairs bedroom

HOLT CATS!!!! try THREE 3/4 ton 6 door work vans FULL of papers to the dump.....shit scattering in the wind as I would back up to the tipple and start shoveling.....small pieces of paper scattering in the winter wind.....

sort of symbolic, I thought.....:sadangel::sadangel::kimblair:

My living and active contacts are all electronic now. Backed up four different ways.
