Some of these were professionally cleaned. I’m grateful to have my original law degree, although I’ll be requesting a new copy o both of my degrees from my college and law school. I’m also grateful that at least some of my yearbooks survived with the original signatures of classmates. I’m amazed at some of the ceramics my mom hand-painted and created in her own kiln. They look like new after cleaning, like the fish with big eyes and the xmas decorations. All but a few were from my mother’s own handiwork.
