Family gets WWII soldier's message, 70 years later
WINDHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A special kind of "family reunion" happened at Radio Shack in Windham Monday night -- made possible by the power of social media.
In 1945, a WWII soldier named William Austin made an audio recording from basic training in Texas. He mailed it to his parents in Auburn, Maine.
Decades later, a man named Mike Esposito, co-owner of the Windham Radio Shack, is buying 100,000 records from a collector.
He happens to find Austin's audio recordings inside another records case.
Esposito tried to track down the family by looking up Austins in the phone book -- but he couldn't find them.
Recently, Esposito decided to try a more modern-day approach. He posted a Facebook status.
