I was cleaning out the basement last weekend, and in the random box of childhood stuff, like an old jewelry box and a bronze unicorn, I found this roll of bills in with a sweater knitted by my maternal grandmother (RIP). I’m guessing maybe it was a souvenir my grandfather brought back from WWII, maybe? Anyone have any ideas?

It might have been kept because of the horrible inflation after WWI which caused their money to go out of control: a wheelbarrow of coins for a loaf of bread, that sort of thing.

That reminds me of the joke about a kid in Sunday school. The teacher asks if anyone knows God’s name, and the kid says, “It’s Andy!” When the teacher asks where the kid got that idea, the reply is, “From that song you taught us! 
Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me… ”

…Boucher, who works part-time as a police officer for the Dexter Police Department…
A decade ago, Boucher served two years as an Ellsworth city councilor but resigned with one year left in his term, and since 2010 has worked for 10 different law enforcement agencies, according to a record of his work history on file with the Maine Criminal Justice Academy. He was hired as an on-call corrections officer at the Hancock County Jail a few months before being elected the county’s treasurer, but left the position the following May.
