JERSEY CITY -- On the second Saturday of March in 1989, Cynthia Harris attended a flea market at a Methodist Church.

Rummaging through the items vendors had on display, Harris found an old postcard with a picture of Dickinson High School on the front. Knowing her mother graduated from the school in 1932, she decided to purchase the postcard for $5, starting what would be a huge part of her life.

"I haven't stopped since," said Harris, who works in the New Jersey Room at the Jersey City Free Public Library.
