I think $10 is worth the friendships I have and made to stay connected through Ableminds that facebook just can't grasp.

I sure agree. Facebook is a whole other animal.

Today, 33 years ago, we brought our baby girl home. Hard to believe so much time has passed since we first met that tiny baby with a pink bow in her hair. Nice memories for sure.

I'm wondering if any of you can help me with something... it involves Old MN knowledge.. and perhaps it can be a little "pre-noodle warm up" for ya'll.

I've recently found some stock certificates belonging to my mom from when she was in MN - several are issued from MN, however I can't find anything on the businesses today:

Diginamics Corporation

Biotronics, Inc.

Staco, Inc.

and then another one - out of Illinois for:

Hydrometals, Inc.

Any info would be helpful. She liked to buy stock for companies she worked for, so I'm guessing at some point in time, they all resided in St. Paul?

I have no idea, but Ill look those up. I don't have stock ticker symbols... all I have are certificates from 1961-62.

Check with a broker. They should have access to information to determine if they have any value or had been converted/merged/etc. with another stock.

OK, found this. KCOGRN was the first to speak up when the plate was offered, I just couldn't find it after that, until I moved!

I'll have it in my car. I'm sure we can hook up somewhere. :eek:)

The search feature on this board works pretty well. I searched for "pewter" and it was easy from there.

OOOH -- DO let me know if you have any success!

Just peeked in here for the first time in ages, and I have to say I've been in the same predicament here, although right now I can't remember the names of the businesses that were on the stocks I'd run across.

It wasn't exactly the "top" of the priority list, but I have them set aside - and will someday need to deal with them. Actually now that I'm processing all of this as I'm typing, I'm thinking that maybe some of them might actually be in the names of my *grandparents*. Even if the companies ARE still around, not sure that the paper will be worth anything if the correct transfers haven't' been done.

If you can prove linage (sp?) they are still valid.

Different, but sorta same topic.. I actually found some bonds that were my grandfathers in trust for my mother from 1942. I have his death certificate.her birth certificate, my birth certificate, and her will. Guess who has bonds worth 4x's their original value? ME. :sillygrin:

ok.. I know it says it's 12 degrees there... well, it's 19 degrees here, and we are expecting a rain storm tonight - which means it could actually snow instead. Somehow, cold just isn't very much fun, unless there is a reason to be out in it. :confused:

I heard on the news last night Seattle is supposed to get about a foot of snow, I guess they haven't seen that much in quite some time.

I suspect someone will be wanting me to grab that video as well?

if you don't mind, although cco tends to keep their videos available longer than the pp does unless you've got a direct link to the brightcove site for the video.

Nah, it's simple enough (I think) for me to grab it. Never know when these things go away.
