Bureau opening brief
Chetwynd, Aurelia. 78. Widow, Merrow Hill, and the largest giver to the Orrindale Foundation's winter gala. Found at 7:50 on a Sunday morning, six years ago, in the belvedere at the foot of the long walk on the Foundation's grounds, by the gatehouse keeper on his round. Dr. Bell: hypothermia, no injury. Window 11:00 PM Saturday to 3:00 AM Sunday. Fog all night. The team concluded that she went out into the grounds alone during the gala, without her coat, and filed it as misadventure. Her phone was in her evening bag, left at her table, and went to her niece, locked. The lab has opened it. The team borrowed the gala photographer's contact sheet, and it went back to him. This year he sent us the frames we asked for, and the Foundation and CurlewBank answered our letters. The photographer's times stand. Four names. -V
