The Story of Sergeant Adam Laws

http://www.19usct.com/company-c/laws-adam---1st-sergeant

This biography was sent to me by Robert Summers. It is amazing to me that Mr. Laws was from Frederick Maryland, where I now reside and where I discovered the handwritten pardon by A. Lincoln in the scrapbook, that I had removed from a property I had cleaned out in Silver Spring, MD.
This pardon is the one destined to the National Archives.

A Newsletter I sent out a few months ago. But it says it all and thought I'd post it again.

Mr. Lincoln did not mean to create such a stink!

Look What We Can Find!

I've uncovered valuables, lost or forgotten or discarded, in every single property or home I have done work in.


Professional Organization , Property Clean Outs, Estate Organization and Liquidations.


A.Lincoln, McKinley, Roosevelt and A. Lincoln again. 


Gold coins, lost jewelry, diamonds,  photographs, personal records and documents. 


Either left to the ghosts or lost in space; I have recovered these things. 


It's never comfortable, usually dirty, sometimes smelly, but regardless, it is fun and rewarding!


Putting a space back together with semblance of order. which was previously chaos, to hand the found goodies  to the owner, (so they can lose them again...lol ) the discovery of lost treasure,  selling the contents of an estate in a fast, furious paced 3 or 4 day sale and coming out at the end with money made on what was no longer wanted or needed by the owner: it's all what I do.

There is no limit to how many times I can get lucky. Instinct and knowledge working together- being in the right place and looking up, not down. Seeing a box in the attic and opening it, then looking under the cuckoo clock in the box and finding ivory elephants... knowing how and where to look and handle items,  manifesting dead president's signatures, knowing how to research and sell.
