The pictures inside date back as far as 65 years and show several generations of the family.
“I believe it fell from the back of a truck or a transporting vehicle and was lost during the transition period of the Fort closing,” Smith said. “The belongings could had been left behind and/or lost in the abandoned buildings and work crews may have discovered it but didn’t salvage it.”
Smith said he hopes Tyler Perry can help him find the albums’ owner and return the box to the family.
