7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help

We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your

We *love* to hear your stories!  If you have a story you'd like to share, tell
us about it and if you have any photos, we'd love to see them!  Send us an
email to newsletter@tias.com so we can share your story with the rest of our
readers.

Here's a story from a reader:
When my grandmother passed away in the 1980s, I was given many family
pictures.  Thankfully, my grandmother had written dates and names on the backs
of them all!  I also inherited a beautiful black pin, all set in gold.  The
most exciting part of this for me was to find a portrait postcard of my great
grandmother - and she's wearing the pin on her dress, right at the high neck! 
I'm still not sure if it's jet, onyx, or any of the other possibilities. Maybe
some day I'll take it to a jeweler to find out but for me it was more
important to know who owned and wore this beautiful pin!
