Old Phone Lists

[Today’s run: Watson road]

We were going through some old boxes tonight, looking for immunization records for our children.  I know they are around here somewhere.  But we didn’t find them.

We found everything else though, including this old phone list from the CBF group at Iowa State in the spring of 1986.  Some of the people I remember have already moved on by this time.  No Coco Towns,  Brian Peterson or Lewis Glover on here.  People had a way of graduating and moving away.  I was kind of slow myself.

Somewhere around here I have old phone lists for some of my past places of employment.  Old phone lists and calendars.  Those seem to really be useful in trying to remember what I did and who was who.

Now that everyone has a camera and a facebook/myspace/blog page there are lots more pieces of data floating around.  But I have to wonder how much of this will still be accessible and/or useful in 25-30 years?
