Dear Folks, I'm ready to put my father's 1938 passport back into the souvenir box but I have a problem. It's cover is made of some sort of early plastic and it has been stored in another plastic grand folder with the title of "Valuable Papers." As a result, over the years of storage in there it was all that I could do to pry it off the surface of the plastic. It seemed stuck to it like forever. After I released it I thought that if I tucked it into a paper envelope the passport would be just fine. Well no that didn't work at all, it stuck to the paper and I had to scrape bits of paper off it. The passport is still sticky and I want to preserve it. But how can I store it even if I found a special box to put it in? I'll repeat again, the passport cover is sticky. Now what do I do? vee

Vee: Have you thought about laminating your father's passport? I don't know if that would help or not. Kim
