Wallet lost in 1975 returned to man, thanks to child's note
A photograph of Beverly Kassis and a letter she wrote were among the items still in Robert McArtor's wallet after nearly 30 years.
Internet search site helps company find rightful owner
By MITCHELL KLINE Staff Writer
[JR: Frequent readers know I am a sucker for stories about people who do the right thing when no one is watching as exemplars to how much in the Creator's image people can be when they accept the Grace to be that way. ]
=== <begin quote> ===
SPRING HILL - Robert McArtor called it a ''phenomenon.''
His wife, Catherine, called it divine intervention.
McArtor's wallet was stolen nearly
30 years ago while he was working in
The dark leather wallet was full of old family photographs, $7 cash and a thick stack of credit cards and business cards. The people who found it also found a note inside that led them to the McArtors.
The couple's daughter, Beverly Kassis, wrote the note when she was about 6 years old.
''I love you mother and father,'' the note said. ''You are good pairint's and as I said I love you, Love Beverly.''
The simple message propelled the wallet's finders on a
mission to find the rightful owners. By entering the name ''
''It must be an extraordinary person that would go to this length to track us down,'' said Robert McArtor, 71. ''Only in this computerized day and age could they have a way to track us down. If the wallet was found in 1975, when I lost it, they probably wouldn't have found us.''
Employees of Bison Designs in
''It was crammed full of pictures from what looked like multiple generations,'' Kelleghan said. ''It was obviously a gem and I could tell the man who owned it was a family man.''
Kelleghan took the wallet to his office and showed it to several employees. Colleen Kelly, who manages the company's new accounts and bill collections, took an interest in finding the owner of the wallet. She couldn't find a Robert McArtor online but came up with another plan.
''I had the note and just typed in the daughter's first and last name and found her on a college alumni Web site,'' Kelly said. ''It's scary what you can find on the Internet.''
The school was
''I'm sure they thought I was pretty crazy when I left the message,'' Kelly said.
Robert McArtor said he had written
off the wallet. He was working in an office in
''I called the police immediately, and canceled the credit
cards. We were moving back to
Kelly sent the wallet to Kassis via overnight mail. Opening the package and looking into the wallet was like looking through a time capsule, Kassis said.
She also didn't know that her father had been carrying around the note.
''That touches my heart,'' Kassis said. ''He never told me he carried around my notes when I was younger. It didn't surprise me as much as it touched me.''
Catherine McArtor said she thinks God had something to do with her husband's wallet being found.
''There must be some reason for God to have this wallet show up. I have to think there's some reason that allowed this to surface.''
Robert McArtor said he probably will give the wallet to his daughter, who has three children of her own. He said he's amazed it was found, and was happy to see pictures he thought were lost forever. He chuckled as he shuffled through a stack of credit cards and gas cards, some from businesses that have undergone big changes such as Montgomery Ward and Standard Oil.
He said he plans on finding a way to repay Kelly and the people at Bison Design for getting the wallet back to him. He still has one big question, though:
''Who took it, and how long has it been in that wall?''
###
=== <end quote> ===
There are so many lessons in this story. Things change. The inet is a unique tool. We never know "everything". Plan for losses. You don't know everything about anybody, even those closest to you. Don't sweat the small stuff. The Grace that is given to some people. What touches the human soul. And the beauty in a small story can touch the heart of at least one crusty old Jasper.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in
any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Bill Wechter
By: BRADLEY J. FIKES - Staff Writer
At that time, Rowley said he expects to depart, probably going to another young company that needs experienced management.
"I don't run public companies," Rowley said. "It's a skill I don't have."
A self-described "serial entrepreneur," Rowley has a 35-year history of building companies. One of these, Centigram Communications, was a pioneer in voice mail. Centigram held its public offering in 1987. Rowley was most recently chairman and chief executive of Counterpane Internet Security, a Mountain View-based company that provides network security.
Born
During the 1960s, Rowley got into the security field by taking a job at the federal National Security Agency. He liked the work, but upon leaving for the private sector, faced a serious impediment: "It was illegal for me to use what I learned in the agency."
By the 1990s, Rowley decided to get back into the computer security field, where the technology had advanced considerably since his NSA days. Before Counterpane, Rowley served as chief executive of Veridicom in the late 1990s, maker of a fingerprint sensor used for identification.
Preventsys was founded in April
2002 in
Preventsys' main difference from other computer security companies is that it doesn't sell security products. Instead, its Enterprise Security Management system integrates existing security products so they work better together. Typically, antivirus software, Internet filtering software and intrusion detection products are installed and maintained on a piecemeal basis, he said.
"A large company can have hundreds of these different types of products," Rowley said. "It's not easy to determine if they all work together."

HEADLINE: Who's your Draddy?; Take a hike, student
athletes!
BYLINE: By Mike Conklin, Tribune staff reporter.
College football, awash in awards at this time of year,
names its Heisman Trophy winner Saturday in
Selected by the media, the prerequisites are superior on-field statistics, a winning team (preferably one contending for the national championship), and meeting his school's minimum academic requirements to stay eligible. Though he will be called a student-athlete by presenters, earning a degree is entirely optional.
Instead, college football's real No. 1 student-athlete gets
honored Wednesday night in
This goes to the best player with at least a 3.0 grade-point average. The sponsoring National Football Foundation calls it the "most prestigious and desirable academic award" in football, and the 2004 finalists average a 3.7 GPA. They're also good players, starring in some cases on highly ranked national powerhouses.
Don't feel guilty if you've never heard of the Draddy. Outside the winner's family, coach, friends and possibly his hometown media, the trophy's profile is lower than a placekick under a crossbar.
Only three times in its 14-year history has the trophy been mentioned in The New York Times, once in the Chicago Tribune.
TV? Forget it. Some of this year's candidates admit they'd never heard of it until told they were finalists by their school's officials.
When Craig Krenzel -- the Bears'
quarterback who majored in molecular genetics at Ohio State -- won it last
year, it never rated in the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch until a month later, when
it got mentioned in a story about the team's Fiesta Bowl appearance. Eight
years earlier, when
"It doesn't get a lot of ink because it's about
academics, pure and simple," said Andy Geiger,

The trophy is named for Vincent dePaul

When the Draddy does get
publicity, more often than not it's called the "academic Heisman," as if winning the Heisman
is somehow mutually exclusive from classroom success. This would be news to

jocks, that we're not smart if we're in football," said David Greene, a

Greene, who has a 3.2 GPA, is a risk management major at
Not enough attention
Foundation officials indicate they're disappointed the Draddy and stories like Greene's don't get attention, but
most of their resources go into maintaining the College Football Hall of Fame
in
Charlie Besser, founder of Chicago-based InterSport Productions, which produces televised sports awards' shows for every major network as well as Sports Illustrated and Disney, thinks the Draddy could -- and should -- enjoy more notoriety.
"You'd have to put some muscle behind it," said Besser. "That would mean a lot of money from a sponsor with deep pockets and some identifiable spokesman -- say Peyton Manning, who'd be perfect. Whether the entire public ever would buy it as a big deal is problematical.
"Unfortunately, the average fan loses interest when you talk academics. But the award deserves more spotlight especially now, when we need to get out the message more than ever you can be a good student and athlete at the same time. There are a lot of very smart kids playing sports."
Good citizens too. In addition to performances on the field and in the classroom, the Draddy nominees also get measured for community leadership. They must be active with outside projects such as Special Olympics, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and volunteering for hospitals and reading programs -- all of which this year's class has done.
Several of this year's finalists also have already received
their undergraduate degrees -- in four years or less -- and are enrolled in
graduate school as they compete. Even though he has two final exams after
Wednesday's black-tie event, quarterback Josh Haldi,
a nominee from

Lanier outburst follows latest loss
By TIM WILKIN, Staff writer
First published:
RIVERDALE -- Things are getting a little testy in the
Moments after
"I don't care about the end of the year anymore,"
said Lanier, disgust all over his face. "I don't care about the next game,
to be honest with you. All I care about is tomorrow's (Friday's) practice. If
we are not going to get two hours out of them at game time, I will get my two
hours from them at practice."
The Saints continued to add to the school record books with
the loss. No
Lanier's wrath began to bubble the more he watched the
Saints get taken apart by the Jaspers (3-4, 1-1).
"This is the worst job I have done coaching since I
have been here," Lanier said, adding it was not just the one game. "I
am talking about this team. It's reality. You sat there and watched it, you saw both ends of the spectrum. You saw a
well-coached team and a hard-nosed team (
Granted,
The Jaspers spurted out to an 11-2 lead before the game was
four minutes old and never trailed.
In the second half, it was never a game.
"We've got guys who have won postseason games in that
locker room, and I still have to call every damn play," Lanier said.
"I did not play one minute, and I have to talk these guys through
everything. If they don't know what they are doing, then obviously I am doing a
terrible job."
For the first time, Lanier talked a little bit about job
security.
"If the job ain't getting
done ... you guys follow the business," he said. "What are you
talking about? When is the last time you saw a player get
fired?"
"I feel bad that Rob is frustrated," Gonzalez
said, "but it is going to take time. I think they are going to turn it
around, and I am not saying that because it's the right thing to say. I really
think they will be OK."

Hi,
Just a quick note. I needed a break
so I was cleaning up some of my "filing". I noticed that you updated
my cardscan database that you graduated.
Congrats.
I noticed that you haven't activated your alumni mail
address. It might be a good substitute for your student address. You can set it
up to forward to a real address like your <privacy invoked> address.
Any way just wanted to say "hi" and pass along
some "stuff".
Hope to see you reading our Jasper Jottings ezine.

Dear Ms. Cat'04,
Just go to the new alum website URL above and fill in your
last name, click on the no cid option, unless you have the recent mailer from
the College alumni office, then just fill out how much info you want to share.
Without the CID, it makes you wait till you have the email to authenticate.
Hope this helps.
Yup, the email lady at the College leaves the "graduate
ids" up for as long as she can until she has to reclaim the space. I just
try to do my part to let people know they are going to disappear soon or later.
That, and I try to encourage people to signup for

Several months ago
you received an e-mail from Andy Fox citing his employer/job. I was hoping to contact Andy and looked for
his e-mail address on the alumni website.
Alas, he is listed as "Lost" by the college.
Could you let Andy
know that:
a. He is
lost. (No comments

b. I'd be

[JR: Well you are
most welcome. I am continuously scanning for news for our fellow alums about
our fellow alums. Without the inet, this hobby would
have been infeasible to collect the news and to costly to distribute by print
and mail. So with Google and email a new comm. Channel is open to a select
community. Thanks for your email, which I'll share with our fellow alums, in
the ezine that moves this weekend. I can always use
interesting material to keep them reading. Obits get depressing. Feel free to
join in. We have about 600 who read it by email and bunch more that read in
from the websites. At least a few have expressed a desire to "write".
Maybe you can encourage them to put finger to keyboard. Best wishes,

World War IV, our war with al-Qaida

The art of deterrence is to create in the mind of the enemy
the fear to attack. Ultimately, the efficacy of deterrence is a matter both of

While the thought of making an "atomic threat of
retribution" is abhorrent to an old Libertarian, so to the thought of terrorists
using a WMD (Weapon of Mass Distruction) or CBRN (Chemical,
Biological, Radiological And Nuclear) in a 9/11-like
incident is so terrible as to defy thinking about. Hence, we need to think
about how to "motivate" our "friends", near-friends, and
enemies. At least this fellow has an idea.
Like the old military jargon, "kill them all and let
God sort them out", and
"God loves the Marines, because they kill everything they
see. We keep Heaven stocked with souls", and "Though I walk through
the valley of death I shall fear no evil, because I am the meanest

What would the dead old white guys have said? You gotta be kidding me! These are the fellow who beat the best
army of the world at the time with little more than grit, guts, and blood. I
have a feeling that they would adopt the attitude attributed to the Marines
above. After all, if you're dead, you can be free.
IMHO!
