My Charm Bracelet and Its Story

My charm bracelet can be seen below.  Here are some of the stories of the charms.

The first charm is my baby locket, given to me on my infant baptism in 1950. Then there is my Mu Phi Epsilon sorority pin from Seattle Pacific University, received in 1969 when I was inducted into the sorority as Historian.  My confirmation charm is next, followed by a gold wishing well from my best friend Liz.

Next is my high school graduation charm (a mortarboard) from my piano teacher, then a gold baby shoe I received when my son David was born.  Then another charm for my college graduation, and a gold grand piano from my piano teacher Ruth Nelson.  The next charm is a tiny garnet watch fob that my aunt Elsie had mounted on a gold disc--the fob was from my great-uncle, a brother of my grandfather.

Next is a charm of a little boy, again given to me when my son was born.  My father Robert Arnold's baby ring from 1922 is the last item on the bracelet.
