Greg ThebergeThat's a great story Paul.
My grandfather was one of the first State Troopers in Rhode Island and I made a great little professionally framed picture box of him as a memorial. This included his cap badge, uniform number, and a 1928 photograph of him on the back of a motorcycle taken about five miles down the road to where I currently live.
Seeing that that was in your scrapbook as a kid, would you think of keeping what you're showing all intact along side the program all in a similar frame? That paper backing and staples are, to me, just as much a part of the history of your story (as well as your personal history) as the items if broken apart individually. I'm not sure how it would be authenticated (before or after the framing)
Just a thought
