RememberSchiff 3663 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Wenatchee, WA workers were renovating the city's public pool facility when they stumbled upon a leather wallet lost 46 years ago. According to The Wenatchee World, the wallet was tucked behind the boys' lockers in the changing room. It contained a few family photographs and a Boy Scouts card that said Harry LaRue lived in Eastern Wenatchee. A reporter with the Wenatchee World is trying to find Harry, with little success so far. In the meantime, the city of Wenatchee has the wallet for safekeeping. http://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/weird/wallet-lost-in-1972-found-in-pool-locker-room-in-wenatchee-washington/83-544535709 Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm guessing Harry has probably bought a new wallet by now. Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 3663 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Forget the wallet. Can we be a little more Helpful here. After all that Boy Scouts card could be a blue card, the one our Harry needed to earn his Eagle in '72! We need to find our lost scout Harry Larue. First let's check ScoutNet...er, nevermind that will take too long. Let's search behind every tree instead. Link to post Share on other sites

There is a site out there called Spokeo that might be helpful It lists a Harry Larue, age 57 (so that would be about the right age) living in Bonney Lake, WA that at one time lived in East Wenatchee, WA. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

RememberSchiff 3663 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 In 1972, Harry may have been a scout in Wenatchee Troop 7 . The history of Troop 7 goes back to at least 1931 according to the troop's facebook page. Link to post Share on other sites
