I broke down...couldn't do any more that day.

Oh we have that door as well. It was at my moms parents house. When we shut that house down 25 years ago we moved the door to my parents house. It is the door to dad's closet. I don't know what we will do with it. Every child back to my own mom from the 1930s is on that door. I can see my height compared to all my relatives as we grew up.
I will take it down and photograph it next to a ruler to keep it for posterity.
