I enjoyed that story; my father could have written it, although at a large railroad as the setting. As per the very end of the story, lets just say it was into the 00s before we ran out of what seemed to be an infinite supply of bookmarks and art project stock paper. I distinctly remember as a kid watching the first star trek movie on TV on a VCR tape and making a shoebox sized model "Enterprise" out of many used punch cards and about a roll of scotch tape, although that was hardly the only art project or whatever using punch cards. I would say by the 90s the very concept of a punch card had pretty much disappeared from the general public conscious and general public people were mystified what my bookmarks were, what is that peculiar artifact I'm using as a bookmark?
