I have an old address book that I started using when my kids were in elementary school. I still will add addresses and phone numbers to it. I was looking through it today and it really does reveal how people change. I have relatives and friends who changed addresses many times. One of my relatives was in the military and moved a lot. He also divorced. I have an old address in there when he was married to his Ex and then an address of him being single. And then others who were in one location for years then moved recently. It is amazing the changes in people's lives that one old address book can reveal.

I agree, there is something historical about mine. That is why I wont throw it away.

It's wonderful that you can keep an address book for such a long time. It is indeed historic. I am a careless person and seldom keep these things.
