Lost, found

To the editor:

I wanted to write and thank you for your free lost and found column.

Shortly after Christmas, I was in downtown Lawrence with my wife and discovered an envelope containing a nice amount of money. Before leaving town I stopped by the Journal-World offices to place a “found” item.

Since there was a short message and a name on the envelope, I had the means of verifying the true owner. She called three days later and I was able to return her money.

It turned out to be a combination of Christmas and birthday money. I was pleased to see she received it back.

Again, thank you for your help. It was greatly appreciated.
