Anyone collect 1934-36 Diamond Matchbooks?

Seeing that matchbook of Jim Mooney reminded me of a story. Mooney and his wife lived their later years in Johnson City, TN. That's where I lived for the first 60 years of my life. Mooney died in 1979. In the early 1980's, I got a call one day from an elderly lady who told me she was Mooney's widow. She had gone to a local card shop looking for a card of her husband and the shop owner hooked her up with me. She asked if there were any cards of Jim and I told her about the 34 Goudey and this matchbook. I told her I would give her my 34 Goudey and look for a matchbook for her. We set a date for me to go to her house. I told her I was a huge Cardinal collector. She said she would show me Jim's uniforms, etc. I was very excited! Only a few days before we were to meet, her house burned and she perished in the fire. I never met her but think of her every time I see a Mooney card. Her name was Maude Elizabeth Mooney, but everyone called her "Sweetie".
