The Fifty-Year-Old Red Ball: Secret Message from a Sealed Room
-
Letto da:

Di:
A small red rubber ball sat in a second-floor windowsill of a room sealed since 1959, visible in eleven photographs taken July 9, 2011 - but no one had entered that room in decades. Who left the ball facing out toward the yard, and what message did it carry across fifty-two years?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the July 9 photograph to the July 14 unsealing, detailing who discovered the ball, who opened the door, and what the sealed room contained - and ask what gesture from the past could reach the present.
Person: Gina Brown
Person: Vicki Weber
Person: Marco Reyes
Location: Saint Brendan's rectory, second floor, north end
Date: July 9, 2011 (photographs) and July 14, 2011 (unsealing)
- Gina Brown took eleven photographs of the red rubber ball on July 9, 2011.
- The sealed room had been closed since 1959 and its door plastered over flush with the wall.
- Vicki Weber had been on site renovating the rectory since April 2011 and had not opened that room.
- Marco Reyes chiseled through the plaster seal and opened the door on July 14, 2011.
- Inside the roughly 11 by 14 foot room were an iron-frame bed with a bare mattress, a straight-backed wooden chair, and a steel filing cabinet with all three drawers open and empty.
