71 years ago...............

At today's Senior Scientist class, July 16th, I, again, showed my OXO tin pocket museum that contains the amber and the wishing rock that I found exactly 71 years ago, Monday 14th July, 1947.......on Larrigan Beach..........                          

Then, I was given this tin............by Bob and his wife........

I slowly opened the tin and saw a bundle of notes, a wishing rock, a crystal and a small torch.

I read the note that was glued to the inside of the tin lid.

And that brought tears to my eyes. 

After a chorus of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,  a collection of cakes and a lit candle appeared..............................wow..............!!
