All of the wonderful people in the world who go out of their way to return lost wallets and other precious items they find. You really never know what stories they can tell! Take retired Navy meteorologist Paul Grisham, who was just reunited with a wallet he lost 53 years ago. But this wasn't an ordinary wallet, and he didn't lose it any old place. Grisham lost the wallet while he was serving in the Antarctic, and the result is a little treasure trove that was frozen — literally — in time. It held a beer ration card with 21 punches left, his motor vehicle operator's license, and a card with instructions for what to do in the event of a nuclear, chemical or biological attack. It also had a handwritten recipe for making homemade Kahlua liqueur (which seems absolutely necessary when you're working in Antarctica). Workers demolishing some old buildings found the wallet, and Grisham says it brings back all kinds of heartwarming memories of his time in the cold.
