   12. Lost and Found   
      
   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."   
      
   Can you help? If so, please email Grace at  beachedwhaleent@aol.com   
      
   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
