Kathy Grace participating in a clean-up operation at Fort Myers Beach in Florida found a message in a bottle from 2000 － and was shocked to learn her son knows one of the authors.

在佛州邁爾斯堡海灘參與淨灘活動的凱西‧葛雷絲，發現一個來自2000年的瓶中信，且驚訝地得知他的兒子認識其中一名作者。

The bottle was signed by a trio of Ukrainian American siblings: Roman, Lesia and Zenon Mural. The note said the bottle had been buried on the beach with the help of the siblings’ father on March 3, 2000.

這個瓶中信是由烏克蘭裔美國籍三兄妹：羅曼、雷希雅和澤農‧穆洛所署名。內容提到，瓶子是在2000年3月3日，由兄妹父親幫忙埋在這片海灘。

Grace sent a photo of the letter to her children and was shocked to read the response from her son, Michael.

葛雷絲說：「麥可回說，『天殺的，妳絕不會相信這種事，但我和羅曼上同一間大學，而且都在DHL快遞公司上班。』」
