What was once lost is now found.
World War II veteran Lloyd Ellefson’s book, “After Five, Plus One” was recovered by an Appleton man, named Curt Kemps.
Kemps says he was driving on Richmond Street a few weeks ago when he noticed something kicked up by the car in front of him. With no traffic around him, he stopped and picked up the book, which happened to be “After Five, Plus One: History of the 93rd Armored Field Artillery Battalion.”
He gave the book to a family friend but asked for it back once he heard the WHBY news story a few weeks later.
Kemps brought the book to WHBY where it eagerly anticipates a reunion with owner, Lloyd Ellefson.

A World War II veteran from Appleton is trying to find a book he lost that covers the history of his Army unit.
Lloyd Ellefson is 98, and he lives on N. Richmond Street on the north side. He says he was bringing the book to Vets and Friends, several blocks away on N. Richmond. He thinks he left it on his car, when he went back into his house to get his hearing aids.
Ellefson says he realized the book was gone when he got to Vets and Friends. He turned around right away to look for it, but it was nowhere to be found.
It’s a red, hardcover book titled “After Five, Plus One: History of the 93rd Armored Field Artillery Battalion.”
Ellefson believes it was somewhere between the 1900 and 2500 blocks of N. Richmond Street in Appleton.
People can call WHBY News if they have any information on the book.
