Dear Editor,

Several months ago my wife and I donated several boxes of used clothing to the Hospice thrift shop in Oakdale. Mistakenly in one of the boxes was a man’s belt with a keepsake family heirloom belt buckle attached.

I contacted Hospice in order to retrieve it, but it was too late and already sold. The buckle is western-style, oval shaped silver with 3-J gold lettering on the center.

This buckle has great sentimental value and I will reward anyone who can help me locate it.

My phone number is (209) 887-1927.

Thanks,

John Murphy
