Just a message for readers- this is a zombie of sorts- a continuing zombie I think 🙂 ---

How weird that his close relatives have lost him. But then again, I don’t think some of my close relatives know where I am right now. ---

> [@Ivens](#): > > Don Ivens was my uncle too. My mother was his sister. I have been doing a family search on [ancestry.com](http://ancestry.com) and was sent this thread by a cousin. I love that there was a group of people trying to return an old wallet; an empty old wallet. It’s amazing. (I had one of those old metal SS cards too.) I’m still searching… Is she still alive? Name? Don’t reveal anything you don’t want. What was her and Don’s father’s name? ---

And once again, the Lost Wallet surfaces, like Moby Dick. ---

> [@filmyak](#): > > Package wasn’t returned to me, I’m assuming the niece got it and just didn’t respond. Whatever… Just poking my nose in to clarify that [the niece finally did reply on the ancestry.com thread](http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.ivens/125.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx), and said that she’d gotten the wallet. Just in case anyone else here had been following this like a mystery novel, given up hope, but now feels like they’ve been given a new chapter to read. ---

Thanks for the update. Still hope definitive word on Mr. Ivens’s fate will turn up. ---

Some people just don’t care to be found. ---
