Creative Memories Album Pages

During 2010, id like to make a memories book for my dad(give it to him maybe end of year.)
on each page, something like an achievement in life,photos, and a message for each member in the family(like a paragraph.)
id also like to put stuff like a van morrsion(singer) autograph on one page, and of stuff he likes
My question is, what is some thing that i could put into the book, that are creative, and unique, which could give him hours on end of enjoyment/reading, and literially make him cry in happiness?
something arty? thats where you guys come in? plz, i want it to be a book of something he remembers, like an album seem as hes had a tough life, id like some ideas to put into the book for his 60th .most/best/unique ideas get top points/wateva
