Solving a mystery
Sep. 22nd, 2011 02:53 pmWhen I was at my grandma's house in Idaho Falls a few weeks ago, one of the things we found while cleaning out her basement was a high school yearbook for Bonneville High School 1973... belonging to someone named Randy Pitman. I had an aunt and uncle who would have been in high school around that time, but they both went to Skyline. My grandma did actually work at Bonneville HS then as a lunch lady (this was back when they actually cooked their own food... from scratch (I loved visiting her at work when I was little, because there were always fresh bread and rolls and fresh cookies or brownies)) and she said that they used to get leftover yearbooks from the school. But this one has that name written on the inside cover and had nine different people sign the book, leaving notes to Randy. So, no real clue why she ended up with it and I couldn't just let the book get tossed or donated without making at least a bit of an effort to track this guy down.
( And it actually gets a bit stranger. )
I've realized now that I probably need to try expanding my search a bit to people named Randall and Randolph... which so far has returned one likely fellow in Boise (who owns the Optometry clinic inside the Costco there that I stop at nearly every time I drive through). No luck finding an email address for him, but I'm thinking of either calling and leaving a message with his staff or using the old fashioned method of snailmail.
