California Man Reunited With Wallet He Lost in Antarctica Over 50 Years Ago

Paul Grisham misplaced the wallet in 1968 during a 13-month placement on the remote continent.
Decades later, it was recovered from behind a locker in a building due to be demolished at the U.S. research base McMurdo Station and has recently been returned to Grisham.
Inside was his driver s license, Navy I.D. and a recipe for the coffee liquor Kahlua.
Grisham, from San Diego, also found a beer ration punch card and receipts for money orders sent to his wife.
Most eerie of all was a card giving instructions on what people stationed at McMurdo should do in the case of an atomic, biological or chemical weapons attack.
