The creation of a time capsule a. you can do this in the literal sense or b. you can simply write what you would place into your time capsule and why.

What did they do?  Did you know them?  What was your relationship with them? If you didn't know them have you researched about them? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My third post for this prompt entails dad’s parents. His parents were James Fleming and Lois McGuire. They were both born in Oklahoma but were not related. I have several photos of each of my grandparents. Grandma and grandpa, many years after they divorced. I am sure grandma worked many jobs that I am unaware of at this point but I know she drove a school bus in Arizona. That was her final job before she retired. She moved to Arizona sometime after her and grandpa divorced. She lived with her mother and took care of her until she passed away. I have a photo of her in a bar she owned while liv
