Question for you: Do you still have one of those miniature cedar chests made by LANE and handed out by Burnett's of Chula Vista at graduation?? I do, and I usually put jewelry in it. Right now it contains two CVHS patches and one little box from Russia. Email me if you still have yours, and let me know if you still use it or if you gave it to one of your kids or grandkids or ?? Did the boys get one, or just the girls?
Did you end up buying a real cedar chest from this promotion and use it as a "hope chest"?
I did. Here's something funny or should I say pathetic...the first thing I put in my big cedar chest when I went to college (I lived with my grandparents and had a big bedroom) was a package of new dishcloths. Yikes. The symbolism hasn't been lost on me every time I think about that. :D:D Now, of course, I would opt for a Faberge Egg, a passport, an amber necklace, letters from friends or something worthy. :D Send your stories!
