Thankful

The public information officer for Greater Clark County School, Erin Bojorquez said, “Marty was found thanks to the power of social media,” she explained. “A family member came across our post and then shared it with [Marty’s] youngest son. I’m thrilled I was able to connect with Marty’s family.”

The Suspense

Bojorquez too was excited to find out who did Marty finally choose to go on the prom with. She told the News and Tribune, “I hope this little piece of history brings back fond memories of [Marty’s] year at Jeffersonville High School… I also hope to answer the community’s burning question about who took Marty to prom.”

Marty’s Life

A few years after her graduation, Marty got married. She has married twice in her life and now goes by the surname Everett. Marty is not just a mother of four, but also a grandmother of seven children, and a great-grandmother of four. 

Settled

Marty is in her 80’s now and is settled in Maryland. But she loves the warmth of Florida and therefore migrates there in winters of Maryland. And as was expected, Marty had no recollection of a purse that she had lost in her high-school days. 

No Recollection

When Marty got to know about the purse she said, “Honestly, I didn’t remember losing [the purse]. I think it was just more of a huge surprise that something from that long ago would suddenly come back into my life. It brought back memories I hadn’t thought about in a long time.”

Another Mystery

Marty told, “I remember the biggest thing was basketball. We had a really good basketball team and a lot of celebrations. It was just a happy time. It felt like a small-town, close-knit lifestyle. We knew everybody [and] had a lot of friends. It was a good feeling.”
