“It was just floating in the water, and we’re like, ‘Oh, there’s garbage,’” said Kara Willis. “But then — there’s something in it.”
August 8, 2022Kara Willis and her husband Tyler used to spend evenings at the Mendenhall Glacier a decade ago, when they worked summers in Juneau.
“It was just floating in the water, and we’re like, ‘Oh, there’s garbage,’” Kara said. “But then — there’s something in it.” “When we saw children’s handwriting and the date, the year 2006 over and over, and the sweet little facts about the kids, it was just — it was so special,” Kara said. One, written by a child named Gabriella, reads, “I was born in nineteen ninety nine. I can ski and clime [sic].” Zori Oberle wrote, “getting an IV in my head.” “I unfortunately do not remember anything about this,” Oberle said. “Several people messaged me, and like, ‘Oh, is this you?’ And I was like, ‘No way! That is me!’”
After finding the time capsule, the Willises handed it over to staff at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, where it’s being kept. Tyler speculated that someone in the group threw the bottle onto the glacier itself and that it later floated out to the lake with meltwater. “It was quite soggy when I got it. But luckily, it’s in pretty good condition, so you’re able to still read everything,” Spofford said.
