I wrote someone asking about old yearbooks from my hometown, lots of family grew up in the town and went to the school there, so here is the question/answer copied from our ebay conversation:

Me: Hi, could you tell me if there is anyone with the last name Dreker in any of your Kearny yearbooks
Seller: There is one Decker
Me: My last name is Dreker, so I was looking for any Dreker relatives that may be in the yearbook. Thanks
Seller: Her name is Alice Decker

Notice I put the last name twice in the second response, then ended the conversation quickly when I realized I was fighting a losing battle

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
