Column: Love letters in the alley: When a Chicago cop finds a stash of old letters in the trash, he’s transported to Chicago during World War II. And vows to get the letters back to the family.

After Chicago police Officer Eric Wolforth found airmail letters from 1945 in an Andersonville alley, he took them home and started reading them. Most were addressed to Leo Lee, who was overseas in the military. Most were from Lee's wife, Catherine Moran Lee. It took him a couple of months, but he finally found the Lees' daughter, Corinne McClintic, who now lives in Winnetka.
