Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


Fuller Family Heirloom — Grandpa Fuller’s Coins

Recovered Fuller family heirloom correspondence — March 13, 2018, while Jo Zeimet was sorting Peter Zeimet’s estate.

Jo described what she jokingly called the “Gold Dust moments”: jars, trash cans, and Tupperware containers full of dirty coins that had to be cleaned, hauled, and cashed in.

Some of the better coins were set aside and sent to Danielle’s family. Jo wrote that the boys might enjoy researching them and added an important provenance note: the card of old pennies was from Grandpa Fuller, and she believed the silver dollars were as well.

Danielle replied that she thought she also had a jar of coins from Peter and that it might be time to dig them out. This draft preserves the Fuller/Peter coin provenance so those objects can be identified later if they resurface.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
