  • An 82-year-old woman has just been reunited with a purse she lost 65 years ago, when she was a junior in high school. Martha Ingham last saw her handbag in 1954, and it was discovered in the rubble when her old school was being demolished. Luckily, Martha’s ID was still in the purse, so the school in Indiana reached out on social media and tracked her down. Inside the purse, there was a letter from a love-smitten teenager asking her to the junior prom, as well as a track meet ribbon she won. #InsideEdition
