Letter Found At Camp Gordon Reunites Soldier with Wife
Lloyd Walker, a former soldier stationed at Camp Gordon in 1950, received a long misplaced letter from his wife Zelia sent Dec 27, 1950, which had disappeared but was found in a wall crack after the Camp Gordon post office was razed. Now living in Henderson Colorado, Walker’s tale ties to a 14 year delay and a historic postal blunder. The second item notes a Kansas probate hearing for Warren Sellens dated January 15, 1960, with Alice Sellens seeking admission of the will and appointment as executor in Ottawa Franklin County.
