"People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors." -- Edmund Burke

"When a society or a civilization perishes, one condition can always be found. They forgot where they came from." -- Carle Sandburg

"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness." -- Alex Haley, Roots

Ancestor Watch

Do you have an heirloom watch that doesn't work?  Why not turn it into a memento of it's owner?  The blog, maizehutton.com, tells us how to replace the watch face and workings with a photograph of a loved one.  What a wonderful way to keep their memory with you always!
