Bill Fulton doesn’t remember losing his walletbut 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 insidethe contents brought back memories from 1946when 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 licensebearing the address where he lived during his teenage yearswere positioned in their respective compartmentsapparently untouched since the year after World War ended.

Worker Nathan Osborne found the wallet—along with old homeworklost 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 Trindlethe 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 schoolknown as the Helen MStack Buildingopened in 1936.

Fulton,78said 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 Drug.He was surprisedhoweverthat his bicycle ID wasn’t inside.He said he always kept it there.

But rather than focus on what was inside the walletFulton 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 yearsfrom March 1964 to April 1994.

Since his retirementFulton has enjoyed spending time with his 11­year­old black dogSmokey.The two often hike the nearby mountains.

Trindle’s knock on the doorwallet in handinduced a slight ripple in his lifeprompting him to consider the times he hadn’t thought about in many years.“Where did it all the times go” Fulton said with a deep sigh.“It’s hard to believe that the times have gone so fast.”(2011·淮北统考)
