VANITY
TO HAVE A MISSION AT 65
HAVE you considered going
off on a personal-history
kirk in your retirement?
An extroverted gentleman by
the name of Harvey P. Daggert
(jiii. And he is now engaged in
one of the most absorbing proj
ects of his life.
“I’m really just a vain man,”
Mr. Daggert says. “In fact I’m
about the most self-centered fel
low you ever saw. But my friends
and neighbors think I’m wonder
ful. My children think I’m won
derful. And I —well, I don’t think
1 ought to dispute them. . ,
What Mr. Daggert is doing is
framing the story of his life. And
hanging it on the stairway of his
home.
It all started a few months after
his retirement. An old friend—a
woman who had been a brides
maid in their wedding in 1924
sent his wife a yellowing news
paper clipping about the wedding.
It was from a weekly newspaper
in a small town in Missouri where
the wedding was held.
“We had saved no such clip
ping,” Mr. Daggert explains. “And
I was very impressed to have the
story. I didn’t want to lose it. I
talked to a friend about the best
way to preserve it, and he told
me the only way to preserve a
newspaper clipping was to frame
it and seal it tightly. I went to a
picture-framing shop and had it
done . . . for $3.45 . . .”
That was the beginning. He
tacked the frame to the stair
way wall, discovered that every
body who came into the house
wanted to read the story . . .
and started looking for something
else to frame.
In three years Mr, Daggert
has decorated the stairway wall
with these:

story of his graduation from high

story as Class Historian. He made
a trip back to the home town to
get it. And it’s not a clipping—
it’s a photostat of the story
taken from the newspaper’s li
brary.
A photostat of a newspaper
story of his return to Dayton,
Ohio, after his discharge from
the Army in 1919.
A copy of his birth certificate.
He thought his wife’s certificate
should be framed beside it, but
his wife wasn’t that dumb.

the birth of the first Daggert baby.
They were living in New Jersey

had his career—one announcing

a lengthy feature story of his re
tirement.
A newspaper clipping telling of
his appearance at City Hall to
fight a zoning change that would
have allowed a filling station in
his neighborhood.
“I’m vain, all right,” says Mr.
Daggert, “but you ought to see
what interest these framed clips
create. Furthermore, I am pre
serving the history of one Harvey
P. Daggert for my children and
grandchildren. They may treasure
it, or they may give the whole
works to the trash man. But I
think older parents have a duty
to pass on ,the story of who and
what they are to their descend
ants. And I’m doing it. . . .”
