Wallet lost in Antarctica turns up in California 53 years later

Paul Grisham forgot he lost it until rediscovery during demolition work at McMurdo base

Paul Grisham's wallet was missing for so long at the bottom of the world he forgot all about it. Fifty-three years later the 91-year-old San Diego man has it back along with mementoes of his 13-month assignment as a US navy meteorologist on Antarctica in the 1960s.

I was just blown away," Grisham told the San Diego Union-Tribune after the wallet was returned on Saturday. There was a long series of people involved who tracked me down and ran me to ground."
