Bulletin Board HOME

As long as I can remember, my Aunt Pat and Uncle Doug had a bulletin board in their kitchen, with ever-increasingly deep layers of photos, cartoons, badges, and more. I loved to check out the new additions and revisit the beloved old postings. The board was carefully disassembled after Pat moved, and I have done my best to rebuild it here.
