Yeah, it is interesting. It’s hard to throw away old stuff. I was just going through a box of old papers a few weeks ago. I came across a very official looking legal document that said “Chattel Mortgage” (ever seen that term since law school?). It was a loan my father made to the owner of the Ken Theatre in Kensington so he could buy a new coke dispensing machine, secured by all the theatre equipment. The loan was $200. It was dated 1946. The most surprising part was that my father had $200 to loan in 1946.
