This is a valued possession in my parents house.  It connects us to the past.  It is an antique slant top desk that belonged to my great-grandfather Frank Davis Showalter, Sr.  It was probably late 1800’s.  It was stuffed with all types of papers–some of which are pictured on this blog.  It now sits in my parents house and is a real treasure.  Lots of nooks and crannies and drawers full of momentos.  I remember it from my childhood and now my son can treasure it for years to come!
