Purse lost in school in the 1950s to be reunited with owner

Martha Everett lost her black stitched purse more than six decades ago. Demolition workers found it in January behind science classroom cabinets in an old Indiana high school where Everett was a senior in 1955. The purse contained a prom invitation, photos, lipstick and other items from 1950s America including Juicy Fruit gum wrappers. The purse is being return to Everett, who is now 82 years old.
