Deb and I went to the Newberry sale this morning.
Frank Newberry was my principal for too many years to remember. From third grade all the way thru my junior year. Then he hired me as a teacher and I worked for him till he retired. His log cabin, assorted antiques and junk sold today.
He had a beautiful two-story log cabin that was a combination of three and it sold for three thousand dollars. What a steal. But it had to be moved. I would love to have it for a studio.
Many antiques were sold for much less than they were worth yet a little seat I wanted as a prop sold for fifty dollars very quickly. I was hoping to get a momento from the estate but it was not meant to be. There was a Knights Templar sword and scabbard that I would have loved to had but it had a man named Smith engraved on it! And I did not want to wait all day for one item.
It was good to see many people from the community. And a few I stayed away from.
