This is my 200th post to An Apple a Day and I had big plans for it. I had a big unveil of sorts lined up, but my negotiations with Michael Jackson's people fell through so I'm back to square one. And the funny thing is, I'm not joking.
Instead I'll show you my favorite, most meaningful find in the whole world.

After spotting these old Dartmouth photos, I've been itching to find some similar ones of the Emerson boys at Dartmouth. The stars aligned on ebay last week and I found a copy of Dartmouth's 1942 yearbook, my grandfather's graduation year. FOR $5!
I know I post a ton of old family photos on the blog, but this one is really special, no one in the family has ever seen it before. I raced through the pages to find grandpa bill and sure enough, there he was. Words fail. I just inexplicably wept.
He was truly the most thoughtful and brilliant man I've ever met. After he died, we found he kept detailed lists of people's interests and accomplishments, along with their birthdays etc... so he'd always be able to reference back to the things they'd mentioned in the past. He'd send me copies of the latest NYT style section, with post-it note comments because he knew I loved that sort of stuff. As humans go, he was evolved.

Also totally amazing are the photos of all the other boys at Dartmouth in his year. Like the smarmy jocks above.
Boys of the canoe club, I love you. If you let me borrow your flannel while you paddle me around, I'll wake up early to make you coffee every morning for the rest of your life. Promise.
I'm kinda taken with this guy's socks/shoes/pipe combination.
A post hockey game party. Is it just me or do some girls have all the luck?
