Love you always…" One of the 8 x 10 in. photos shows April Brooks, the young lady to whom these albums belonged, at The Jacksons' star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (at 1500 Vine Street). The inside cover of the second album has a very large inscription and signature, "Love always To April Michael Jackson 82."

A third album holds five postcards written by Katherine Jackson to April Brooks, two from Africa and one from Germany in 1982. In 1984, Katherine sends postcards from Japan (10/30/84) where "Janet…is doing some t.v. shows and a commercial" and from Russia (6/17/84) beginning "Janet and I landed in Russia yesterday…." This album also contains ticket stubs for Prince shows from 1985 and 1988 and 35 snapshots of Prince, whom April also obviously liked.
