Great story, Returned Old Pen Knife to owner 57 years later.

I found this old pearl handled pen knife with the owners full name and middle intial...so I go home and search for a Mr.Robert D. Graber.
So I find a perfect match in the phone book where the town he lives in..Ring Ring,,,Hello,,,Are you Mr. Robert D. Graber....he says yes I am...I asked him if he ever lost a pen knife along time age...he paused a minute and said yes when I was 14 years old and now I'm 71 years old...So that's 57 year ago. He went on to say his grandfather gave that knife to him and he was sick to his stomach when he lost it..I gave him my address and he came over and pick it up. When he show up and saw it he almost past out from shock,almost 60 years.
He said I can't believe my eyes, he said this is a miracle, he kept thanking me...and he kept saying I can't believe it...lol...KCH try to get pics below.

Thanks for sharing your story, goes to show that returned items don't have to be valuable to us to be priceless to others........
