Hey Althea, I was just sorting through some old postcards and thinking about how we can make sure their stories survive—what’s your take on protecting historical records so future fighters like you can still see what happened?

Althea: I think the first step is to keep copies in two places—one safe off-site and one in a climate‑controlled vault. Digitize everything so you have a backup that can survive a fire or flood. Then, get people to care by telling the stories in ways that matter to them, like community talks or social media. If the stories are useful to future fighters, they'll get the respect they deserve. And remember, a good archive is like a shield: it lets us see what went wrong so we can fight smarter.

Sounds solid, but I’d also stash a few physical copies in an old cedar chest—no digital clouds for me, just good old paper that won’t burn or flood. I can keep a note in a pocket and a footnote in a journal so I never forget where the tea was left. That way, the past stays in hand and the future gets the story it needs.

I like that. A cedar chest is sturdy, and if you keep a note in a pocket it’s a good reminder. Just make sure the chest is in a dry place and not in the basement where a leak could sneak in. And when you’re ready to share, a few of those stories will still have the weight of the past behind them. Keep the chest, keep the notes, and the future will know what we fought for.
