E-mail, phone calls and trips to old neighbors' houses culminated in a bag of jewelry left at the Sea-Tac Airport in Seattle being returned to its owners.
Sharyn Evans, a customer service agent for Alaska Airline in Seattle, said she tried for months to reunite the jewelry -- and an album of family photos -- with their owners. She held onto the items beyond the normal 90-day limit because of the sentimental value, the Anchorage, Alaska, Daily News reported Tuesday.
Evans made one last reunion effort: She ran a description of the items in the Anchorage newspaper, hoping someone would recognize them.
Someone did. Mercedes Angerman called her father in Wrangell, a small community where Angerman grew up. He visited the father of Lois Anne Ballard, Angerman's childhood friend, who called his daughter and read the story to her over the phone. The daughter, who lives in Seattle, called Evans and described the contents of the bag that had been missing for about a year.
"It's been an amazing 24 hours," Ballard said.
Evans said she hope someone will recognize a photo of a one-of-a-kind tattoo to return the photo album.
