Katie Ornelas purchased a vinyl record from a thrift store in Austin Texas around Monday November 18 called "The Modern Jazz Quartet At Music Inn" which Katie found out that the record had cheers, prayers and vows from a wedding in 1966 that was for Phil and Donna Schmidt.
Katie was able to use the local media to try to return the vinyl record to the couple's daughter who informed Katie that her parents moved to Denver Colorado in 2022.
Donna's daughter who name is also Donna mentioned that the record must have been sold as a result of being misplaced in the wrong sleeve.
The couple had an estate sale in March 2022. Donna's daughter mentioned that the wedding record of her parents will receive their wedding recording soon so that they celebrate their 59th wedding anniversary in August 2025.
Nice work of Katie to contact Donna about the recordings of her parents since wedding recordings are priceless.

That was really nice of Katie to go to the trouble of finding the owner.

That is very true that records can be placed in the wrong sleeves when the record is sent to a thrift shop.
