They had just moved and in the ensuing chaos, a cherished photo album accidently found its way into a donation box that went to the Goodwill in Chadds Ford, reports Rebeccah Hendrickson for 6ABC.

Now, that album has been safely returned to Frank and Nancy Yocum.

They had just moved to Maris Grove, a retirement community in Glen Mills. During packing, the album ended up in the wrong box.

“Everything was getting mixed up because we had so many boxes,” said Nancy.

Wendi Shaw came across the album when she was shopping at Goodwill and picked it up for $3, hoping to reunite it with its owners.

Action News posted photos from the album on its Facebook site, hoping someone would recognize the people in them.

A family friend recognized the photos, adding that the Yocums’ granddaughter worked for the Action News Digital Team.

The granddaughter had actually posted the story on Facebook but only saw photos of her grandparents’ friends and didn’t recognize them from 20 years ago, so she didn’t make the connection.
