Bill
Fulton
doesn’
t
remember
losing
his
wallet,
but
its
return
helped
him
remember
the
past.
The
leather
stayed
smooth
and
the
cowboy
design
unblemished
(
完美无缺的
). And when he looked
inside, the contents brought
back
memories from 1946, when he apparently dropped the
wallet behind the
balcony bleachers
(
露天看台
) in the Baker Middle
School gym.
Fulton’ s Social Security
Card and bicycle license, bearing the address
where
he
lived
during
his
teenage
years,
were
positioned
in
their
respective
compartments,
apparently untouched since the year after World
War Il ended.
Worker
Nathan
Osborne
found
the
wallet
—
along
with
old
homework,
lost
library books and a 1964 talent show
program
—
while removing the
bleachers
for renovations on June 17.
It was brought
to Fulton’ s door the
following day
by Melanie Trindle, the
Baker Middle School secretary.
Middle
School
Principal
Mindi Vaughan
said
the
brown
pine
bleachers
were
connected to the gym balcony’ s brick
wall and had remained in the same place
since the school, known as the Helen M.
Stack Building, opened in 1936.
Fulton,
78, said he probably lost the wallet while
cheering for the Baker High
basketball
team with a group of friends. Fulton said the
bicycle ID was needed
because he
delivered medicine for Rodamar was surprised,
however,
that his bicycle ID wasn’t
inside. He said he always kept it
there.
But rather than focus
on what was inside the wallet, Fulton said the
recovery
has led him to reflect on his
life
—
one that took him to
the Korean War and
Berlin before the
return to Baker City. He worked at Ellingson
Lumber Company
for 30 years, from March
1964 to April 1994.
Since
his
retirement,
Fulton
has
enjoyed
spending
time
with
his
11-year-old
black dog,
Smokey. The two often hike the nearby mountains.
Trindle’ s knock on the door, wallet in
hand, induced a slight ripple in his life,
prompting him to consider the times he
hadn’t thought about in many years.
“Where did all the times
go
？
” Fulton said with a deep
sigh. “It’ s hard to believe
that the
t
imes have gone so fast.”
