There was lots of excitement this afternoon as Port Chester Middle School students gathered for the unearthing of a 20-year-old time capsule, but the excitement soon turned to mystery.
After about an hour of digging, the time capsule buried just outside the school superintendent's office could not be found. Principal Patrick Swift has a pretty good idea of the general area where the time capsule should be — a tree was planted 20 years ago to mark the location — but he said there is no marker to pinpoint the exact spot where the time capsule was buried.
Swift says the search will continue on Monday, when current fifth-graders will get hopefully get a chance to see what went into the time capsule put together by fifth-graders from 1992.
