Workers at Goodwill in Cabot had a feeling that a metal lock box at the store had been donated by mistake.
Inside the silver container, which had a piece of masking tape stuck to it with the words Keep-Out-Privet, were hundreds of letters written by a woman named Mildred to her sweetie serving overseas in World War II.
The letters, most addressed to My Darling Husband and mailed almost daily from Olympia, Wash., spanned 1943-1944 and were neatly organized by month.
The box and letters were sent last month to Goodwill Industries of Arkansas headquarters in Little Rock, and the search began for the owner.
Actor presents Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’
Special to The Oak Ridger
Veteran actor Mark Cabus presents his one-man stage version of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” once again to Oak Ridge Playhouse, except this time it’s streaming now through Christmas.
Playing 18 characters from Scrooge to Marley’s Ghost, Mr. Fezziwig, Bob Cratchit and even the smallest member, Tiny Tim, Cabus employs Dickens’ original text to bring the classic Christmas characters to life.
In nearly 90 minutes, the beloved characters from the holiday tale of transformation and redemption sing or dance or laugh or cry their way across the Playhouse stage like you’ve never seen before.
