Florida woman finds lost yearbook after 40 years

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

Here’s another fun story of an old high school yearbook being recovered by chance, 40 years after being lost.

Diane Gerlich-Rogers of New Port Richey, Fla., doesn’t even remember how she misplaced her 1971 yearbook from Indiana’s Griffith High School. But according to this account from tampabay.com, the story of how she recovered it is a fun tale full of interesting coincidences.

However, as is always the case with stories like this one, the yearbook discovery once again led to plenty of rekindled school memories.
