A Nostalgic & Touching 1957 Memento

Here's a lovely break from all the shouting and panic:

"The discovery of a red purse has offered a look into what everyday life was like for a teenager in 1950s Ohio. In 2019, a custodian at the North Canton Middle School was repairing lockers when he discovered a bag wedged behind a piece of detachable metal. Although dusty and dirty, the contents of the purse were well preserved. They belonged to Patti Rumfola who lost the purse in 1957 when she was a teenager attending what was then Hoover High School."

"'Patti’s five children were together for a family gathering in the fall where they opened the purse to have a glimpse into their mother’s life as a teenager at Hoover High School,' the North Canton Middle School wrote on Facebook. 'Each of her five children kept one of the wheat pennies as a token of remembrance of their mom.'"
