    One of our readers has a graduate's final thesis submitted to the University of Utah's School of Engineering in 1949 for graduation. It includes a letter from the graduate's grandmother as well. She'd like to re-unite this with the owner or the owner's family.

    "I graduated from UC, Berkeley in 1961 and know how hard it was to prepare a thesis. This one is hand typed with engineering photos he must have taken himself and marked that it was accepted for his Civil Engineering degree.

    But more important is a birthday card to "My Beloved Grandson" clipped to the inside cover and a two page, single space letter from her clipped in the back encouraging him to go out in the world and make a difference and to remember all the American immigrants who came to America with a dream and to make them proud, etc.....

    Their must be some LDS ancestor who'd love to have this for a family history.

    For all we know, he's still alive or sadly, ended up in Korean War because he wasn't married and lost his life.

    The family was from Ogden but he lived in Salt Lake. Mother was Vera Beason who wrote patriotic books. Grandmother who wrote letter from 1181 E 24th Street, Ogden was Lilliebell McChesney Falck (Mrs. J.G. ), (formerly Mrs. S.H. Frey). I think main lines may have died out. Could find little on them.

    Thank you again for your help! Grace S."

    How about you? Do you have some special vintage item that is in need of its owner? Maybe we can help. Send us info at newsletter@tias.com --------------------------

    7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your story to newsletter@tias.com and we'll publish it in an upcoming newsletter. We *love* to hear your stories! If you have a story you'd like to share, tell us about it and if you have any photos, we'd love to see them!

    This story is from Joyce S: My (now adult) son has an enormous collection of keychains. As a little boy, whenever anybody in the family traveled, he'd ask them to bring him a keychain from the places they were visiting. Over the years his friends and coworkers starting doing the same, and now he has literally hundreds, maybe thousands of these unique keychains. He's strung them all together and they hang like garland around his (what he calls) mancave. He remembers who gave him each one of those keychains! Not worth a fortune in money, but priceless just the same.
