"A real prized possesion"

A soccer ball owned by 16-year-old Misaki Murakami from Rikuzentakata, Japan; was found on the Alaskan shore by a radar technician,  David Baxter. The ball was washed over to U.S. shores by way of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami. David Baxter's wife, who happens to be Japanese was able to translate the inscriptions on the ball itself. The writing on the ball is from Murakami's 3rd grade classmates from his former elementary school. Mr. Baxter and his wife plan on mailing the 16-yr-old his ball sometime this week.
