Oregon man's wallet resurfaces after 63 years


BAKER CITY, Ore. – Bill Fulton doesn't remember losing his wallet, but getting it back more than 60 years later helped him remember the past.


The leather stayed smooth and the zipper moved as easily as it did in 1946, when he apparently dropped the wallet behind the balcony bleachers in the Baker Middle School gym while cheering for the Baker High basketball team.


Fulton's Social Security card and a bicycle license for his job as a drugstore delivery boy were positioned in their respective compartments, apparently untouched since the year after World War II ended.


"After that long, my gosh, it stayed in good shape," Fulton, 78, told the Baker City Herald. "It's hard to believe."
