Anyone out there a Yearbook collector?
I have recently started collecting yearbooks. Our local genealogical
society inputs the students and faculty information into an ever expanding database. |

oups.com... I have recently started collecting yearbooks. Our local genealogical society inputs the students and faculty information into an ever expanding database. That sounds like a worthy use. The only other use of them I've heard of is selling the yearbooks of celebrities ("See J. Lo's junior-year yearbook picture"). I've actually been hunting for my U.S. Army basic training "yearbook" for a couple of years now. I didn't buy one at the time (I was just happy to get out of Ft. Dix), but now I would like to show my kids. During one year I actually had 7 or 8 "hits" on eBay--by hits I mean finding Ft. Dix basic training graduation books from the year I was there (1987)--plus 1 or 2 from 1988. Unfortunately, none of them featured my basic training company (A Co., 4th Bn, 39th Inf.--a rather famous unit in its day, I recall that it won some unit citations in either World War I or II and Col. David Hackworth recently memorialized it in his *Steel My Soldiers' Hearts: The Hopeless to Hardcore Transformation of U.S. Army, 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry, Vietnam* [2002]). But recently, fewer and fewer Ft. Dix books have been showing up. William M. Klimon http://www.catholicbookcollector.com |
