When the word got out, that an owner has been located, the people from KSDK News wanted to deliver the wallet to her and record her reaction for their YouTube Channel. After getting Balatzell’s approval for the same, KDSK sent out a reporter with the wallet to meet Betty.

Meeting Betty

The reporter form KSDK found herself outside Betty’s front door in Missouri along with her camera crew. Once seated and ready for the reveal, the reported pulled out the wallet, neatly wrapped in a plastic package, and gave it to Betty. She was excited to open it, her astonishment vivid on her face as she took a look at her long lost belonging.

It Was Red

Betty began to examine her wallet. She told the reporter, “I can’t believe after all of these years that I’ve… It looks like it’s old. I remember it was red.” The wallet was now a faded shade of brownish-orange but it looked like it could have been red at one point of time. Betty remembered losing her wallet but she never thought she will see it again that too after so many decades.

Nostalgia

Betty went ahead to examine the contents on the inside. Aside from slight surface damage, the contents were in a decent condition. They were clear enough for Betty to recognize them. The very first picture is of a little girl and a boy, which as Betty told the reporter, “That’s me with a little boy by the name of Jimmy Kane, and I had a crush on him. I must have been about in the third grade or fourth.”

Boy Pictures

Betty began to pull out more pictures from the wallet, most of them contained different young men, presumably more of her crushes.  “Oh my goodness! Look at the boys’ pictures I have. It’s quite a shock, and it’s really exciting to see these pictures.” She couldn’t believe that the photos managed to survive so many years and were in such good condition.

War Hero

The wallet also contained a photo of Betty’s brother, who joined the army during the second world war and passed away. The photo meant so much to Betty, her eyes were glistening with tears. She didn’t have any pictures of him so for her, this was worth a million-dollar treasure.
