Hidden Treasure

Have you ever reached way back in your closet and pulled out that old jacket you haven’t worn in a long while and you put it on and reach in the pocket and find...Treasure! Usually it is money. It has been common for me to find a dollar or two, on one occasion even a twenty! Yesterday my dear Dad discovered a hidden treasure in an old coat pocket that he gave to me!

Take a look. It’s old and faded, but what a treasure for me. It’s my Mom & Dad’s reserved seat tickets from my very last Football Game my senior year in high school! Not sure if you can read everything on the tickets, but it was from November 14, 1980 and it was our big rival game against Ore City. The reserve seat ticket price was $2.00 (ticket prices have more than doubled in the last 28 years!) My parents had reserve tickets as long as I can remember; Section A, Row 3, Seats 12 & 13 – this was in the old stadium which now would be the location of a grassy parking lot, and new Ag buildings – but I can still picture it and I can remember being with the rest of the twirlers on the sidelines (we didn’t have a track back then) and looking up and seeing my mom & dad sitting right there every game.

Original Value $2.00
Today’s Value $0.00

Memory Value... priceless!
