Debbie Harris recently uncovered a treasure. Harris was walking on a quiet stretch of beach along the Fort Morgan peninsula when something shiny caught her eye. It was a military dog-tag...a fallen pilot's identification that had been buried beneath the sand for 50 years.
"I had a chill run down my neck," says Harris. "I realized at that moment that nobody had touched these dog tags since they were around his neck. I was the first human to be able to touch those and I just thought that was amazing!"
The tags belonged to Commander Robert Glasgow, a Blue Angel pilot whose aircraft when down in Ft. Morgan in 1958. Harris found the tags on what would have been Glasgow's 87th birthday. Harris couldn't believe her discovery, just three months earlier, she found Glasgow's Navy fighter squadron emblem nearby.
Harris is now on a mission: she wants to find Glasgow's family and return the precious items. So she contacted the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola and stumbled across another eerie coincidence. The director of the museum, a former Blue Angel, flew with Glasgow just minutes before the crash.
Retired Navy Captain Bob Rasmussen says he'll help Harris find Glasgow's family. They are beginning a nationwide search to locate anybody related to the fallen pilot.
