A few weeks ago, our youngest son spent the weekend helping
us to improve our Internet coverage. He cut some holes in the walls of our “new”
home and ran cable through the attic. As he worked, he began pulling out wads
of yellowed, crumpled-up newspaper. Why would anyone shove paper in a wall? I
almost tossed the filthy mess into the trash, but my curiosity got the better
of me. I laid the largest chunk on the ironing matt and flattened it. It was
the Deseret News food section from July 1, 1987. We entertained ourselves comparing
80’s grocery prices with today’s. Then Grandson #2 spotted my birth name in one
of the articles. Nabisco had just added a new flavor of Cheese Nips, and my
dad’s uncle let them print his opinion. Then, someone wadded up the page
and pushed it into the wall, where it waited nearly 37 years for us to find it!
