Dennis Helmer, a 78-year-old from Westmont, was notified by a man named Don Williams that his wallet was found by a contractor in his home's ceiling. Inside the wallet, there was Helmer's 1957 Selective Service card, a St. Christopher Medal, a 1956 receipt for his 168-dollar tuition payment to Drexel University and even a picture of Helmer posing with his high school prom date.
Helmer said the wallet was stolen during a robbery at his parent's home in 1970. He apparently didn't know it was missing until he received the call from Williams.
