A box of memorabilia, including photographs, letters, and a menu, was given to the Alberta Family Histories Society by a Calgary thrift store, believed to belong to Marion Gordon Atkinson, who died in 2020. Researchers aim to identify the connections among the items and potentially return family photos to relatives. Notably, the box contains a 1942 photo of Royal Canadian Air Force Squadron members, prompting further investigation into their histories. The thrift store’s manager felt a strong responsibility to ensure significant items are reunited with their rightful families.
