VC '76 Time Capsule


	1974 Time Capsules For those of you who were unable to attend our 20th Reunion, we tried to dig up our time capsules, only to discover that we couldn't locate the map to find them, so we had ourselves a real treasure hunt. We have included the list of events leading up to our discovery and the items that were unveiled at our dinner, with our two history teachers, Mrs. Joan Torretta and Mrs. Elizabeth Aumueller Patton. Vic Polesel was kind enough to make us a new time capsule so it was buried on Sunday after our picnic. This time capsule will be dug up and unveiled for our 40th Reunion, of course our kids will have to do the digging. So not to forget where we buried it is again, Louie Estrada filmed the whole thing,we'll be ok if we don't lose the video! 1996 20th Class Reunion Looking for our Time Capsules Day 1 Fri.

We spent 5 days 14 1/2 hrs digging 48 holes before finding the Time Capsule. We used 4 different kinds of metal detectors Valley Central's, Ray Baty's & (2) of Howard Weeden's Bruce Helstrom enlarged the three small pictures Mrs. Toretta sent Kim into 8x10 glossy's of the Time Capsule Scene Bruce took the pictures to the State Police Barracks to see if they could judge the distance of where it was located, but they were unable to.Kim made long distances calls to Mrs. Toretta in Florida and Mrs. Patton in Maryland trying to see if they remembered anything. And as our last resort we called in a Land Surveyor who happen to graduate with us, Howard Weeden. We almost gave up, but Ron convinced me (Kim) to have one last dig on the 21st, and I'm glad he did. Thank you everybody who helped make this happen. Items found in the 6 Capsules
