You may have heard the old saying, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” With an uncle who was a hoarder late in his life, I think I know what they mean, but little did I expect it to happen to me.

No, I’m not suddenly a hoarder. But, I did find a couple of treasures the other day in my office at the Newton Daily News.

When I got here in late June, the office I now occupy was little more than a storage room. You know the kind I’m talking about: where everything you don’t want “company” to see gets stacked up to be out of sight, out of mind, and collecting dust.
