7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help/Blast from the past
Here's a reprint from the June 25, 2002 newsletter:
In search of a stolen memory a reader sent us this story. I have a passion for
40's and 50's rhinestone jewelry. Several years ago my mother gave me a pair
of her rhinestone earrings from the 40's. They were my favorites out of her
jewelry and I had always wanted to try them on when I was little. About two
years later I was robbed and the earrings were part of what was stolen.
Needless to say I was heartbroken. I spent several months looking through pawn
shops hoping to spot mom's earrings with no luck. About 10 years after the
robbery I was browsing through a local antique store and spotted the same
earrings that had been stolen from me. I was delighted to purchase them back
at a reasonable price and regain a special and sentimental part of my mothers
life and my childhood.
