Case 1:
One year ago, off the coast of Oregon, a ten-year-old boy tossed a message in a bottle into the Pacific Ocean. Weeks ago, a 9-year-old girl in Hawaii found it.
The note inside read: "Dear finder of my message, my name is Thomas and I live in Oregon. I'm ten years old and this week I'm salmon fishing deep in the ocean. I would like to hear from you."
That girl responded (via email) to Thomas, who had included his mom's email address. Since then, the two plan to become pen pals (of the digital variety).
Case 2:
Near Florida, a man found another missive that had been floating in glass for 50 years. A hotel owner had put the message out to sea with a note that said anyone who returns the bottle to the hotel will get a $150 reward.
Flash forward 50 years. A man finds the message and tracks down the man's daughter, who now runs her late father's hotel. The woman's reaction was pure shock and disbelief, mixed with a lot of memories of her father's playfulness.
Case 3:
A high school student who dropped a message in a bottle off the coast of Florida. A year and a half later, he got a response all the way from Ireland. Today, the bottle has a place of honor in an Irish pub.
Case 4:
Back to 1979. Dorothy and John Henry Peckham threw a message into the Pacific Ocean while on a cruise. Six years later the bottle was picked up by 31-year-old Hoa Van Nguyen in Southeast Asia. A correspondence began that led to the Peckhams helping sponsor Nguyen and his family's immigration to the United States.
