Les Anderson is a professor in the Elliott School of Communication at Wichita State University. This is his second year of bringing journalism students to Greensburg to tell the story of its rebirth.
City Treasurer Pam Reves looks through an unclaimed family album found after the tornado.
City Hall’s lost-and-found collection may not be around much longer. The city of Greensburg has been storing items recovered after the May 2007 tornado, but they soon may have to go when the new city hall opens.
City offices have been housed in portable buildings since the storm, but city hall is expected to be ready for occupancy later this summer. When the move comes, the eight purple tubs stuffed with 150 or so keepsakes will be emptied and offered for one last time, officials say.
No one has claimed anything from the lost-and-found collection for more than a year.

The City of Greensburg should make amuseum display of the lost and found items that were not claimed.
While it may not be very big..
It would be a reminder to people that lives and memories have been lost and just how quickly life can change.

Do people not recognize the family’s photo album? That is too bad, as the family that is missing it probably would love to have a few memories back!
