Title: Why can't I inherit stuff like this?
Post by: PeterAit on April 29, 2019, 10:01:06 am

We watched a show called Strange Inheritances last night. This episode was about a woman who had inherited a house full of stuff from her granny. Her granny had been an editor at Popular Photography for decades, and in a trunk in the attic they discovered a trove of original prints that granny had accumulated. And not just any old prints, but works by Adams, Cartier-Bresson, and many other famous photographers. What a story!

Was your Granny an editor at Life magazine? I fear not. Neither was mine! But if only. We can dream on and on and on..........................

I do blame my grandparents for not thinking of me and my wants 50 years after their deaths. ;~)

I'd rather inherit a going bank! But then by the time it came down to me it would be gone. And ¡f it wasn't I'd finish the job myself. 

I have a magical touch with money: I can make it disappear just like that!
