Im here to meet a family whos lived here for more than a 100 years. So when they unearthed their strange inheritance, they give it the code name the black swamp find. Im karl kissner. In 2011, my cousins and i inherited the family home from our aunt. She had left us a note we would find things in this home that we never knew existed. Karl, a 54yearold restaurant owner, has invited me to the family home in the small town of defiance, ohio. Karl . Hi. Im jamie. How are you . Very good. Pleasure to meet you. Nice to meet you, too.

Im jamie colby, and today, im in denver, colorado. Im meeting a retired couple who relocated here to be close to family. It was that move, or rather the downsizing that preceded it, that brought this inheritance surprise to light. My names don camp. I dont know a thing about art, and i doubt youll disagree when you hear about the two paintings that sat in my basement for years. Don, phyllis, im jamie. Jamie, glad to meet you. You have a beautiful home. Don and phylliss story starts a few years back in 2011, when don retires from his job as an electrical engineer in upstate new york. Oh, they have all sorts of plans. They want to downsize. They want to travel the world, see their daughter in taiwan and work with Christian Charities in africa. And they want to be closer to their grandchildren in denver. So don and phyllis sell their house. How long had you been in that house . About 20 years. We had accumulated a lot of stuff. With the move date looming, phyllis assigns don the unpleasan
But first, the temperatures cold us yet. So far weve had im not kidding my fingers. Talking feel cold. Definitely chilly out there. The coldest of the season so far. Nice and clear. You know, its sometimes these really clear and calm mornings. For this time of year, especially we start to feel temps getting really cold but beautiful view of San Francisco from sutro tower.
