Brent Waters of Perry sent the following message to ThePerryNews, perhaps moved to action by our recent story about a long lost wedding band. Waters wrote:
When I was 7 years old, I found a sterling silver ID bracelet. The name on it is William Brew, and it has the number 716-89-87 on it.
I think I figured it out to be a U.S. Navy ID bracelet.
We used to live right across from Weise on Fifth and Bateman. The workers used to sit on our parking back then, around 1970. I found it 15 feet from where they could have been.
It also has scratched on the back 1946 or possibly ’41.
I was wondering if you could find him or a relative.
A photo of the bracelet was included. If you have information about this ID bracelet or its owner, contact Waters at iambrentwaters@gmail.com.
Have you contacted the Dallas County Veteran’s Affairs? Perhaps they could help locate. I’m sure the family of William Brew would treasure it. Good luck!
