A Hidden Treasure from the D.I.

On my way home from work this afternoon, I decided to make a stop at the local Deseret Industries. I'm looking for a bench and some shelves to re-do and make my own. As I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, I did find another little beauty...
I was browsing around when this jacket locked behind a glass cabinet caught my eye. It had my name on it. How often do you see something at the D.I. with the name "Julia"? So I walk over to it and see it's a high school letter jacket. The closer I get, the more familiar it looks. It had a big letter "B" on the top and the numbers "00" opposite the name on the bottom. Still thinking it's just weird and it had to be a coincidence, I ask to see it. The girl got it out for me, I turned it around and was even more weirded out when it said "Accadians" on the back. The poor girl didn't know what to say or even do when I said,

"OH MY GOSH, THIS IS MY JACKET!"


Another lady took the jacket to her supervisor who graciously gave the jacket back to me and didn't make me pay the $37 they were asking for it. I couldn't believe it! Most of my pins were still on it and everything! Either I left it somewhere sometime oor it was placed in a D.I. bag by accident. Either way, it's one of the only things I wanted to keep from Drill.
