THE ROCKING CHAIR READER Forgotten treasures rediscovered . . .  Spend an afternoon in your attic, basement, or garage-and travel back to a simpler time. Just touching your grandmother's diamond ring or your grandfather's fedora brings back beloved memories, connecting you to a past you may not even remember but will always cherish.   The stories in this latest collection from The Rocking Chair Reader document the blessings that we enjoy when we rediscover the goodness of the timeless treasures tucked away in the corners of our homes, such as:  A simple wedding gown, worn by four generations of happy brides A button salvaged from a grandmother's button jar, whose sorting was always a time for storytelling A collection of old papers that reveal the details of a father's military service-and help his daughter understand what he could never tell her A dusty old trophy brings back the memory of a town Halloween costume parade   The Rocking Chair Reader: Memories from the Attic will remind you why you've kept so many things for so long-and will bring you back to the happiest times in your own life and in your family's precious history.
