Mr. Grisham of San Diego is 91-years-old and in 1967 he arrived in Antarctica as a Navy meteorologist but at some point during his 13-month assignment, he lost his wallet and eventually forgot about it. Until last week.
When he went to retrieve his mail, he had a package that contained his long lost wallet. Mr. Grisham said, I was just blown away. It appears the wallet was found in 2014 when a building at McMurdo Station on Antarctica s Ross Island was being demolished.

A wallet that was lost in Antarctica in the 1960s has been returned to its rightful owner. Paul Grisham is now 91-years-old and lives with his wife in San Diego County. In 1967, Grisham was a Navy meteorologist working at McMurdo Station on Ross Island, the southernmost town on planet earth. When his assignment was done, he returned to his family in San Diego County, but his wallet stayed behind. On Saturday, the wallet arrived in the mail. It was found behind a locker during the demolition of a building at the Antarctic Naval installation. Among the items still inside the wallet were Grisham’s Navy ID, his driver’s license, a tax withholding statement, and a recipe for homemade Kahlua. There was no cash, in fact, Grisham and his fellow Naval personnel never carried cash because there was nothing to buy.
