On February 27, 1980, the long-lost glasses of rocker Buddy
Holly, who died in a deadly plane crash in 1959, were found—
filed away in a manila envelope in a court clerk’s office marked
"Charles Harden Holly".

That envelope was opened by Sheriff Jerry Allen. The glasses
were eventually returned to Holly’s widow.

A Beechcraft Bonanza carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens 
and “The Big Bopper” Richardson, crashed outside Clear
Lake, Iowa, in the early morning hours of February 3, 1959.
