12. Lost and Found

One of our readers has a graduate's final thesis submitted to the
University of Utah's School of Engineering in 1949 for graduation. It
includes a letter from the graduate's grandmother as well. She'd like to
re-unite this with the owner or the owner's family.

"I graduated from UC, Berkeley in 1961 and know how hard it was to
prepare a thesis.  This one is hand typed with engineering photos he must
have taken himself and marked that it was accepted for his Civil
Engineering degree.

But more important is a birthday card to "My Beloved Grandson"
clipped to the inside cover and a two page, single space letter from her
clipped in the back encouraging him to go out in the world and make a
difference and to remember all the American immigrants who came to America
with a dream and to make them proud, etc.....

Their must be some LDS ancestor who'd love to have this for a family history.

For all we know, he's still alive or sadly, ended up in Korean War because
he wasn't married and lost his life.

The family was from Ogden but he lived in Salt Lake. Mother was Vera Beason
who wrote patriotic books.  Grandmother who wrote letter from 1181 E 24th
Street, Ogden was Lilliebell McChesney Falck (Mrs.  J.G.  ), (formerly Mrs.
 S.H.  Frey).  I think main lines may have died out.  Could find little on
them.

Thank you again for your help! Grace S."
