Lynn in Florida had an experience similar to last week's reprinted story from a 
September 12, 2002 Newsletter:

The story from the reader who found a childhood picture of herself taken by her 
grandparents displayed in an antique shop reminded me of a similar incident.  I 
was browsing in a local antiques mall and came across a stack of vintage 
visitorsCÇÖ guides printed by my hometown chamber of commerce.  Looking through 
the booklets, which were from the 1960s and '70s, I came face-to-face with my 
16-year-old self, clad in bathing suit and bare feet, smiling shyly from the 
back of a boat.  The photo had been taken by a local photographer during a 
publicity shoot for a new waterfront development, and appeared on the cover of 
the annual visitors' guide a year or two later.  My mother had kept a copy of 
the guide when it came out, but it was lost in a fire many years ago.  I was 
delighted to see it and, needless to say, gladly paid the $2 asking price!
