>Hello friends on the Goldfield list,. I have an heirloom in a shoebox that I think should be left to the eldest daughter (or daughter-in-law if the eldest daughter have no issue), followed by her eldest daughter, ad infinitim This is my Christmas Story. If I don't tell it now, it will probably die with me, soooooooo: I had a brother-in-law who got a job assisting to install printing machinery. The new, state of the art press could, after calibration, print all colours in one pass. Previously only one colour could be printed at a pass, hence earlier cards had a reduced colour palette. He came home one day to say: Don't buy any Christmas cards this year. The machine that we are installing has a christmas card on it for callibration, and, as we line up the registration marks to get the colours printing correctly, the machine spits out about 500 copies. By the time we get to the last colour, the cards coming out will look OK. They won't have any printing inside, but instead of putting them all in the bin, I can bring some home for you. I waited as Christmas came closer, then my mother-in-law said: there's a shoe box of Christmas cards Ron left for you, you'd better take them home. Well, about 500 cards, full colour, lovely design perfectly printed. None of my friends will know that they all got the same card, will they. And they were great: only one drawback, everyone had printed on the front: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY HUSBAND !! And a Merry Christmas to you, too. regards, Ada Ackerly, Melbourne, Australia formerly Ackerly DocuSearch ------------------------ Yahoo!
