Every year Kathy places the Santa bank that my aunts Marion and Gertie gave to me under our Christmas tree. I think I was five years old when I received their gift. Here is a picture of it sitting under our present tree.

The gift that I have kept the longest is this maple rocking chair. It was gifted to me by Grandma Riley (1876-1962) on Christmas Day in 1949. My mother wrote the information on the bottom of the chair.
