Safe Deposit Boxes - The next Katrina Victim
Our branch bank in Slidell Louisiana has been closed since the hurricane. It took in at least six feet of water. The safe deposit boxes were moved to a town west of New Orleans so they could be "decontaminated" by the EPA. I got a letter today from my bank to make an appointment to come remove the contents of our safe deposit box and close the safe deposit box account. We have a medium size box and its chock full of important papers; 30K of savings bonds; a car and a truck title, my original DD-214, birth certificates, our marriage certificate, my will and my grandma's watch.

Can't wait to see what's growing on my retirement documents.

3. I do too
She died in 1960. She had four grandchildren, I was the youngest and got last dibs on four of her personal items, but I think I got a great part of my Grandma. Its a beautiful watch. Maybe it'll be nuclear powered now.
