When you first shared your discovery about Annie's story...I was blown away. Clearly, this is a project 👀. Can you just imagine what Annie would have done with the tools we have available today? The scale is just breathtaking — and inspiring.
Lori, I'm thrilled that you've shared your journey to find Annie... and now to create your own time capsule. We're right here and honored to get front row seats. 🥹
“I always knew I’d create a Century Safe. It just took me standing in front of Annie’s safe to realize it.”
Obsessed? No, really, I can't even imagine, tee hee. What an exciting trip to DC and your enthusiasm is contagious for this cool DIY family time capsule project.
You know how much I have enjoyed this journey Lori and you've taken this to a whole new level with this idea. Annie’s safe wasn’t just a container of objects, it was an intentional message to the future, and you’ve captured that same sense of purpose here. It makes me wonder what any of us would choose to send forward if we knew it would be opened decades from now and whether we’re documenting our lives with that kind of clarity and care today.
This is an amazing gift of history you have shared with us all, and I am so excited to follow your own “century safe” journey. It's made me think about what I’d put in my own!
What an emotional moment that must have been. You and Annie connected across all those years, each having touched that newspaper. Each understanding the importance of the past.
Lori as I read your words I felt like I was sitting at that table with you. You are now part of Annie’s story and I am exciting to follow along with you.

That was the part that pulled me forward, @Paul. How can I be a batter ancestor?
we often forget that basic principle! One day we will become an ancestor ourselves
Wow Lori!! Just sneaking a moment to start reading about your project. How exciting and to be able to see those things. Just wow
Gobsmacked.
What a weave of time and person and place is this layering of Annie and Lori.
A joy to watch this unfolding.
