Earlier in June I blogged about a Wallet with ID from 1956 Found in Ceiling of Home

I am happy to report that the wallet has been returned to the man who lost it! 

His nephew reports "After 59 years my uncle's long lost belongings have finally been returned to him. William (Bill) Mollon"

A man removing insulation from the attic of his home had quite a surprise. Inside the walls he found a stack of letters and cards from WW2.

According to the news story "the findings were wrapped in a dainty, disintegrating pink ribbon and included a birth certificate from 1942 for William Kissel, Frein's father, and a marriage certificate from 1941 for Edward and Virginia Kissel, Frein's grandparents."

I think this very kind note received a few days ago says it all.

Lorine - just a short follow-up note to tell you that the dog-tags for Tom Stull were delivered successfully.   This has been a long and interesting 3 year effort leading to numerous dead-ends.  We'd all but given up but, thankfully, discovered your web site and you were able to track down family members who are thrilled to have the memento.  Thank you for all you do.  It is often the "little things that count."  Fond regards - Craig
