    This sounds like something from film noir. Right out of Hitchcock or something. I really love this stuff.

    I just checked Ancestry.com and your C.V is Carrie Viola born 1898 and a bookkeeper in a lumber mill.

    I recently did a post about something I found in a book and I also found some teenage ramblings circa 1948 under my floor boards.

    I really should pay for a subscription to ancestry.com.
