Yes, at the last few days of school semester, we will always exchange autograph books among each others. We will bring home, write and stick whatever sticker or even pictures, into another friend's autograph book. so, the next day, we will exchange back the autograph book with each other. Nice memories always fly back whenever i saw those autograph books.

When I was in my teens myself and my best friend at the time used to collect famous star's autographs, actors and actresses who starred on tv, from quiz shows, to game shows to soaps etc... I got the idea from him as he started first, I would love looking through his vast collection of autographs which he kept in beautiful bounded albums, he would write to the star and request their autograph! Well I started and before long I was starting to build up a nice collection. Some would refuse or send back letters saying they don't send out photos etc, but on the whole I got a good response, some of them signed, some of them even put personal notes on them, to Brian from .... etc. It was a wonderful hobby and I used to love waiting for the postman to get more autographs etc. Sadly because I moved so many times I got rid of the albums, I'd be they'd be worth quite a lot now, especially on Ebay :0(

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji,
Well, sorry to dis-appoint you. But I do not possess any of those things, nor ever thought to make such things impressing on myself. Yesterday, only my younger son, while teaching hi selder daughter preparing for her ist std. half yearly exams, brought his progress card of Ist std. and asked me who had signed, he was trying to recollect his teacher, while he was in Ist std. we were trying to recognise from teacher's signature. I tehn understood, what you think of recalling memories. WE just went into those days, when our son was studying in Ist std. Really, you are a great Lady.May God bless You an dhave a great time.

I collect some autographs back when I was in y high school days. I don't even remember where I have place those dozens of autograph collection. I really love collecting them seeing people you know their reading their inner self and knowing them more. I never thought that there are still people out there collecting autographs.

Those are for memories, those days which we enjoy together with our friends in different and best ways we can and not to forget those memories we do so.

Hi Karen!
It was fascinating to collet autographs, when were were in our late teens and I would collected autographs of my dear friends and relatives. Many of the friends have separate in due course of time, due to various reasons, I do have their authographs, letters and greeting cards with me, even now.........LOL! I think it was great fun to collect others'(read friends/relatives) autographs/greeting cards, at that time.

Hi Karen,I had this habit when i was a school boy before 12 years. However i dint had this habit later. I started this habit when i was leaving my school. I actually bought Autograph note(My mom gave that idea)to get autographs from my teachers. When i finish getting from everyone, I saw some pages left. So i asked my best friends to write on it whatever they wish. I got autograph from my very very close friend who is my benchmate too.
I would tell you a big surprise here. It happened before 12 years and we all are 9,10 years of age. we left the school too. The great surprise is last month I found my best friend, my benchmate in Orkut website after 12 years. It was really a great moment for me. more wonderful thing is we both asked same questions when we started to chat. I mailed her the autograph she wrote for me with spelling mistakes. she was very happy to see her childhood handwriting and also told me sadly that she lost her autograph note someway.
Sigh! I am careful in saving my memory!
There are really no words to explain when we check our memories turning back those pages in Autograph note. I felt hard while turning 3 pages, where i heard before that those teachers were no more in this world
.R.I.P.
Anyway, nice memories!
Attached the autograph which I got from her in 1997.
Thanks for this nice discussion, Karen!
Have a nice time!
Happy Postings!

I haven't looked at my autograph books in years! I don't know if I even remember the names of the people who signed it in elementary school or if I would remember the personalities that go with the signatures were I to look through it now. It does make you wonder if those signatures have become significant in any way. Kind of like yearbook signatures, huh?

When I was in elementary school to middle school I had a lot of my classmates sign my yearbooks. By the time I got to High School, I didn't get along with a lot of people and just didn't care about them, and was only worried about getting out. I didn't go to a very good High School unfortunately. Gangs, and lots of pregnant 16 years running around... I have met a lot of famous musicians which has been awesome and instead of getting them to sign something for me I usually get them to take a picture with me. That means a whole lot more to me.

When I was at school in the 1980s, it was very common to get your friends to sign your autograph books, especially when we were leaving school. I still have one or two of these with autographs and messages from my school friends and teachers. They are fun to look back on, lots of memories!
