I had a similar experience when I found a very old family Bible in a dumpster,
along with a WWII cloth map, pictures etc. The family (whose name I have
forgotten) were from New Hampshire. I contacted the historical society
there, and they welcomed the shipment. Perhaps, with the WWII letters,
an historical society or museum might want them if you can't find the family.
Here in Wisconsin we have a military museum, but I don't recall if Oregon
has one as well. I'll always feel good that I took that extra mile. ;-)

recently came across some material that I think would be of interest to
a family by the last name of LONG. A member of the family abandoned the
items at a self storage facility that I manage. Items include letters written
during WWII, many, many pictures, a metal cemetary Marker for Greg LONG
and a lot of pictures, some of them fairly old. The only names that I have
are Cleta LONG (the WWII letters were written to her by Jack LONG) Greg
LONG, Jordan LONG (he should be finishing the8th grade this year), and
Michael LONG.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>If anyone
