I know that its an unusual title... and vaugue (like me!)

Let me start off with an example I just found...

High school sweetheart finds killed WWII Marine's diary in museum 70 years later | Fox News

BAsically an American Lady visiting a museum found the diary of her then boyfriend who had been killed on active duty.. He died in 1944, she found/saw the diary this year 2013! 69 years!!

anyone else have a story something like this?
(Tom KRUSE and the Badger springs to mind)
