A few years ago I saw a framed photo in a little shop. [View all]

The lady had $35 on it and said she would take $30 so I bought it.
I asked who it was of and she said she did not know, so I asked why she bought it. She said because she thought he was a handsome man. I told “yes that runs in our family”.
The guy was a famous retailer that every one has heard of. She said no way and did a quick google search and there he was. While everyone knows his name, almost the only one that would recognize him would be a cousin like me.
One of only 3 or 4 treasures I would, most likely not sell.
I love my retirement job.
