My mother, like her four older sisters in Tennessee (one of whom, the 2nd grade teacher in Carthage, claimed as one of her most well-known students former vice-president Al Gore, Jr.), was, in the words of my brother, a “pack-rat.” By popular definition, that meant that she was not only heavily invested in locating interesting local artifacts, but also in “hoarding” them. This was evidenced by one of her favorite art activities with her students throughout her 25 years of teaching, which she lovingly referred to as “art with found objects.” This basically involved either physically leading her students on a tour of the area surrounding the school for items they could use to complete the project, or re-questing that they locate similar items from their own home environments.
