MISSING!
On Tuesday, August 16, 1988
a gray leather handbag and all
its contents were stolen from
Photonews Long Island Corporation,
located at 329 Broadway,
Bethpage. It contained
cash, credit cards and assorted
personal belongings which I am
now trying to replace. The only
belonging in the handbag that
can not be replaced is a letter
written by my father, which was
written to me before he passed
away last month and a rnass
card from his funeral which was
sealed with a personal belonging
of his in it. There is no way 1
c^c^plcl ever put a 4^plW aipoupt
inm^ heart
, „ / ; „ : . ' " If
anyone finds these objects or if
the individual who stole the
handbag reads this ,.. please
keep the cash and anything else
you may want, but return those
two items, no questions asked.
They are all 1 have left to
remember my father by and I
can't express how heartbroken I
am to lose them. The letter was
written on pink stationery and
the mass card depicts Christ on
one side and inscription with the
name Alexander C. AntonelU,
1931 - 1988 written on the back.
