“Dear PoPville,
Wednesday night (Feb. 2) I snagged a paperback copy of “The Time Machine” from the Little Free Library on Holmead Place near Spring Road NW here in Columbia Heights.
I often find bookmarks that had been left in books like this, but this time the left-behinds were three beautiful glossy color family photos:
young brown-haired guy with beautiful young blond-haired woman, labeled “Sept. 2010”; same guy with guy buddy, labeled “Victoria 2010”; and older couple, maybe the guy’s parents or grandparents, labeled “Penticton 2010.”
(Victoria and Penticton BTW being cities in British Columbia, Canada.)
I really don’t think this guy meant to lose these photos. And as the book had landed in the local Little Free Library, I think the guy probably lives in the area, maybe was visiting family in Canada in 2010.”
If they are yours please email Leo at Leobosner(at)hotmail(dot)com
