Fast Eddie and the Big 5-0

Regular visitors to BunkyTown are well aware of my ordeal in regards to my Flip video camera.

For those that don't know, I lost the camera on our trip this summer to Minnesota, and had all but come to the realization that I'd never see it again.

Well, blow me down, but out of the clear blue last week there was a phone message from someone I have dubbed 'Fast Eddie.' He had found the Flip at the Old Spaghetti Factory (three months later) in downtown Minneapolis. It was about to be given to charity, but thanks to Fast Eddie, he plugged it into his computer, and through 41 different videos, put together my name and hometown, then Googled my info and placed a call.

My trust in America has been restored. Well, maybe the good-hearted people of the Land of 10,000 Lakes, at least.

So without further adieu, here are some snippets of my parent's 50th wedding anniversary from early August. Another talkie 'from the lake' will come later.

Again, a special shout-out to Fast Eddie, and his remarkable investigative skills and kindness!
