 What do we keep for our children or tell them to keep for 50 years down the road?

My answer??  Write a short biography (less than 10 pages or so) of who you are, what went on in your life, and what was important in your life.  Write it from the point of view not for your kids, but for your grandkids when they begin to have kids and begin to become aware/wonder?  I did this a couple of years back at a time when I realized how little I really knew about my grandparents, and also how little my kids really knew about me, and when my second grandson was born.  The first 30 years of so of our lives is a mystery or a blur to our children; because it happens before they are born or old enough to remember or to see from an adult point of view.

For me, its the memories and not the skis.
