[Highland Park] Lost pink codsmetic case
by Sherry Goldman 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

My husband and I were up at the park today, Sunday, April 29, from about 3:30 to 4:15 and we think we dropped a small pink flowered padded cosmetic case that I had been using to carry my digital camera. The camera was not in it, but I believe one of the wires I need to download the pictures was, plus possibly some AA batteries and possibly the case to the SD card. We had walked the circuit of the reservoir including the inlets, and the flower beds and the knoll above the reservoir and the phone booth. We retraced all of our steps before leaving the park, but we didn't find it. If you find it, please give me a call at 412-215-9631. You can call anytime, 24 hours; we shut the phone when we sleep. If it is off, please leave us a message. Thanks! Sherry Goldman
