When Bill Gilbert was 12 years old, he put together a time capsule filled with stamps, a coin, a family photo and a letter. Sixty-seven years later, a contractor named Mark Knecht found it. Knecht, a general contractor in Pueblo, Colorado, was working on a house last week when he discovered a jar under some cabinets. It was Gilbert's time capsule, undisturbed for nearly 70 years. "My name is Billy Gilbert," the letter reads. "I am 12 years old and Janice is fourteen. This is the year 1949." "I was stunned by it, really," Knecht told KING5 News. He did some Googling, but Bill's name didn't turn up anything.
