Sacramentan buys old vinyl 45s, finds out they were his mom's

Published: Friday, Jul. 31, 2009 - 12:00 am | Page 1A
The lick-on label was unmistakable. Paul Campfield was reading his mother's name and the address of his childhood San Lorenzo home.

And it meant the old records he picked up for $2 at a Sutter Creek antique shop had once belonged to her, although she died in Redding in 1979.

What are the chances?

The 68-year-old Sacramento man never knew what came of his record collection owned by his mother, May O. Rainey. He simply remembered how they fit into slots in a compartment beneath the oak RCA Victor console with the automatic turntable.

"It's just a thrill, a genuine thrill," said Campfield, a retired engineering technician. "I think my mother is still with me."


The rest of the story is on the link.

Do you know how instantly and hard that would make me cry? They'd probably rush over to find out if I was OK! lol
