He found the letter in a toolbox, and it was written by an army veteran to the love of his life.
Now the hunt is on to find the couple or their surviving relatives.
“It’s almost like a true love story. People just don’t write things like that nowadays, it’s almost like poetry,” Rick Trojanowski said.
Back in 2017, Trojanowski bought this toolbox at a farm auction. But what he found inside a couple of years later was like a scene out of a movie.
Inside was a love letter written 70 years ago addressed to Mary Lee Cribbs in Grand Rapids from Cpl. Irving Fleming.
