Re: A question



Hi Geri!  We have a dozen or so matchbooks and I have stopped worrying since
I took a blade and cut the match heads off.  This keeps the full matchbook
form without the chemical threat.  (Dear Doctor, what does it mean that I
like cutting the heads off things?)  Of course, if this was the orginal US
Constitution AND was on a matchbook, I would curb my chopping instincts.

List members,

I have a Friday-type of problem.  I just received a box of about 50
matchbooks, all with our University logo from the 1950's and a cute little
emblem in color on them.  I'd like to keep them as a memorabilia item, but
worry about the fact that they are matchbooks.  Anyone forsee a problem?
