An Abbotsford teenager is hoping to reconnect a fishing treasure with its rightful owner.
Taro Milligan, a Grade 11 student at Robert Bateman secondary, was fishing in the Sumas River on Vye Road recently.
ѻýI caught something that wasnѻýt a fish,ѻý he explained in an email to Black Press Media. ѻýVery close to the bank I got snagged up on a small plastic box with duct tape on it.ѻý
Once he had it open, he found the box was full of First and Second World War memorabilia and medals.
He reached out to the media in the hopes of spread the word, so that the rightful owner could be found. Heѻýs also contacted the Abbotsford Legion.
ѻýThey are valuable family keepsakes,ѻý he said, and belong with the person who lost them.
Anyone with information is aske to email Milligan at taromilligan@gmail.com.
