Discovered Treasure Trove Shows That Danish Home Resident's... Discovered Treasure Trove Shows That Danish Home Resident’s Love Story Came True It’s like a Nicholas Sparks love story, and a Hallmark movie all rolled into one, with the added bonus that it’s all true. Maddie Hopkins, a resident of Wicker Park, went antiquing earlier this spring and wandered into Lost Eras, an antique shop in Andersonville. There, she spotted what she described as a “cute old Valentine card” perched on a bin. “There was an adorable note written from a woman named Teddie to a man named Bill. It said that he was the love of her life. I thought this was the cutest thing I’d ever seen,” Hopkins said, deciding to purchase the card. “It needed to be somewhere that it could be cherished.” Hopkins then discovered that the bin on which it was standing was a sort of treasure trove, filled with love letters between Teddie and Bill. They were all from a four or five year period between the late 50s and early 60s and many seemed to be written while Teddie was here locally, and Bill was living in Greece. Some of the letters were written by Bill in Greek. “They talked about their love and how they couldn’t imagine their lives without each other. There were 250 letters. They just loved each other so much,” Hopkins said. Among the letters was a card with a photo of a church in Waukegan on which Teddie had written, “This is the church in which we’ll someday get married.”
