Trophy Day

What does one do with a lifetime accumulation of family trophies when preparing to downsize?  We could dole them out to each of the kids and I could hang on to the few I earned but where would we store all this hardware? Simply throwing them out seems criminal given that each one represent a tremendous effort and significant accomplishment (none of these are participation trophies).  I decided to photograph each and every one so that they can be shared digitally into the indefinite future with no need for packing and storage.  I then arranged the nicer ones on a table and took this “group” photo. I jumped into the final photo to lend a sense of scale. I may save one or two for each kid but will disassemble the rest and donate to a trophy recycler (yes, there is such a thing).
