Seems the University of Chicago got a package addressed to Henry Walton Jones, Jr. Recognize the name? Would it help to cross out Henry and Walton and write in Indiana?Yes, that Indiana Jones (not the dog).
Inside the package was a very official-looking journal lookalike for Abner Ravenwood, the Egyptologist, archaeologist, and U of Chicago professor who counted among his proteges Indiana Jones.
This package also contained photos of Ravenwood's daughter, Marion, who was certainly a person known to Indiana Jones.
How do we know all of this? Because someone opened the package, twice.
See, a guy in Guam put the journal and photos, your basic movie fan's collector's collection, up on eBay, and somebody in Italy bought it. Seller threw it all in a package, addressed to the buyer, and off it went, until it got to Hawaii, where the original packaging came off.
Apparently, a helpful postal employee saw the University of Chicago, looked up the ZIP code, wrote it on the package, and put it back in the mail.
The seller has said that he will get another package off to the original buyer and that the U can keep the one that has been delivered to them.
