  1. I am sorting through the OLD Valentines of a second cousin who taught school and so had many many cards from her 4th grade students. This lady passed in 1976 and I have not had heart to toss them. I (at 77yrs) can no longer keep them. In those days it was required to drop a Valentine in every Bag even teachers if you were doing the exchange.
