USITT is still hoping to track down the owners of a few articles turned in to Lost & Found at the Annual Conference & Stage Expo in Houston this past March. The following have not yet been claimed: tortoise shell sunglasses (designer maker) in a case; a Moleskine notebook (roughly 8 ½ x 5 ½) with journal entries that begin in October 2006 and continue through to the Conference (anyone researching a trip to Paris?); and a ring (solid band style, appears to be a man's size).

If you think one or more of these items belong to you and would like to reclaim them, please send an email to michelle@office.usitt.org with a brief description of the item so we can verify that it is indeed yours. We will gladly ship it back to you via UPS.
