When this column reminded my neighbor, Dot, about those old-time autograph books, she brought hers out of storage and we enjoyed reading what all her friends, me included, had to say, way back in 1939 (53 years ago). The sad note is that 11 of those who wrote in the book in 1939 are no longer living.
