High School Keepsakes

I love when I come across keepsakes, something little that holds some sentimental value to a family member who is no longer with us.  This is a great example.  My paternal uncle kept his high school cafeteria pass and his high school Driver Education Certificate.  They must have been a reminder of some good times he had in high school.  For someone like me, it gives a glimpse into my family member's life.
