Years ago, I went into this third hand style book shop. It is located in the bottom of a church basement in the Midwest. It is the type of place you can get a grocery bag full of books for $30. Oddly, they also had some full sets of various encyclopedia books for free. I thought it could be an interesting set to have around so I grabbed one. It was a New Illustrated Columbia Encyclopedia 1975.
Months later, I was looking something up for fun. It was not a book I had touched yet, and I found the following letter hand written on a sheet of lined notebook paper. I found it oddly interesting and tried looking the names a few times. I did not get anywhere near the article story, wish I had.
“Being of sound mind and body, declare this to be my last will and testament.
To my mother, I leave nothing.
To my father, I leave Farrah and the wish to be cremated and scattered over aspen, Colorado.
To Rhonda Sollberger, I leave my cat, puffer, my rabbit, Oliver, my model house collection, and my stereo.
To Tony I leave Karen.
To Karen I leave Tony.
To Gail, I leave my teddy bear, and my rainbow sweater (She’ll grow into it soon.)
To Heather Bright, I leave my Canada Dry can, and my tequila bottle.
To Mark Frang, I leave him feeling guilty and gray skico. Also some of my ashes are to be sprinkled in his room, to remind him the sad that I am not here is all his fault.
To Adheimme Boman, I leave all the items in my play house that belong to her. 13235 is the combination.
To Todd Glass, I leave my Muppit poster (It’s just his type!)
