Grose is now 78 years old, and was overjoyed to be reunited with his old wallet. He has suffered a stroke in recent years that affected his ability to speak.
The question I'd have for Grose is: what were you doing in that attic, which was apparently so deserted that something lost there would not be found for so many decades? Was it a work detail? Were you catching a little nap? Inquiring minds want to know! *grins*

I am Jack Grose's daughter. The question you have for him will forever be a mystery. We (the family) tend to believe tht the wallet was stolen however. Since the only cash found was 1/2 of a one dollar bill, it would be the obvious answer.
The fact that dozens of people cared enough to track my father down and return the wallet is remarkable! It's certainly put a smile on his face. It matches the ever present twinkle in his eye!
@Anonymous: Thank you for your reply. I'm glad that your father was made happy by the return of his wallet, and that he is doing well. I'm sure he'd have lots of stories to tell about his army life, were he able.
