![]() ![]() The hat pins are definitely hidden well, too! I spent many hours searching and searching for that hat pin! I made sure to find it every month, although I never mailed in an entry in the contest. Whoever finds the hat pin and mails in the winning entry with the correct page number on it wins a prize. My personal favorite part about this magazine is the contest: Find Miss Hattie's Hat Pin! Hidden somewhere in each issue of the magazine, there is a picture of a hat pin. Recipes I had heard of, but never tried, were brought to life, and I was able to taste the goodness my mother always told me about. There were recipes that my mother said reminded her of when she was a little girl. Stories about World War II captivated me, and long lost loves reunited melted my heart. My mother was born in 1935, and suddenly I was transported into her era. I learned about the way the world was long before I was ever born. Fun was spending time outdoors, and being involved with family. Suddenly, there weren't televisions in every home-only radios. I picked Reminisce out of the pile, opened the cover, and slipped into a totally different world. I thought it was for "old fogeys." I have never been more wrong in my life. I wanted to read something good, but I was a little leary of this magazine. One boring day (as most of my teenage days were) I was looking around for something to pass the time. She had a subscription to almost every magazine imaginable, and I have yet to find one as interesting as this. ![]() My mother subscribed to Reminisce when I was a teenager, still living at home. ![]()
