I had a relative that died recently in a small town in Texas. She was sort of related to me indirectly and has been senile for a number of years... a really kooky kind of senility not completely incapacitated or anything... we didn't actually know how old she was when she died but around 100 most likely. In her house we found cases and cases of scavenged junk - it was amazing. Boxes of plasic bags she saved every time she went to the grocery store, tin foil she had used and washed and saved... anything that was ever broken and replaced she saved... But the wierdest part is her history. Almost my entire adult life she has been senile so no one really knows that much about her. But the story was that she was a Ziegfeld Folly (a tap dancer) around 1915 when she was 15 years old. I don't know how long she stayed in NYC but by 1929 she was back in Texas in a small town, and had to live through the depression in a sort of dust bowl ... can you imagine that? We didn't ever know if it was true. Then we found a box with a picture in it which we think is her in front of the New Amsterdam theatre which is where the Ziegfield Follies were... just one picture of her and 2 other women (we don't know who they were)... so at that moment we realized maybe she wasn't completely halluncinating after all. In the same box we found a magazine from 1916 with an article about the titanic survivors.
