The scrapblog editor found a weathered little leather autograph book in the bottom of the family trunk. It was Aunt Emma's childhood autograph book, from when she was about 13. Most of the entries are little rhymes from her childhood friends. This one, from her mom, Grandma Sprick, reads: "Theilman, Minn. Nov. 8, 1929: Dear Emma, Strive to keep the 'Golden Rule.' And learn your lessons well at school. Your Mother, Mary Sprick."
