A few years ago, I got possession of an old autograph book probably from the 1930s. This book belonged to a Brooklyn girl named Wilda. After much research I learned it belonged to Wilda Spinks. I mentioned it to the late Florence Gardner, who told me she kept in contact with Wilda and through Florence I got Wilda’s address. I packaged up the autograph book along with a note and shipped it off to her. A few weeks later, I received a wonderful note from Wilda thanking me for taking the time to send her this long lost treasure. I still have her note and will always keep it. Though I have never met Wilda, I was very saddened to see she had passed away and it made me remember the story of the lost autograph book, a memory that I will always treasure. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to her family at this time.
