Neat thread, Roope! I remember when you first told me about Touchstones and I thought "Touchstones of our past" would be a neat title for my dad's oral history book I was working on, but it's since become a novel and renamed On Garfield Creek, but I still LOVE that word, Touchstones, and what it means to you. I use it that way, too. I've got so many. Still trying to be a little quiet, right now, so I won't list them. But, I will enjoy watching this thread and maybe posting some later. Thanks for sharing.
