Dear listers,
We read about the recovery of various Turing items that Feds seize Alan
Turing’s doctorate and knighthood medal after theft:
"Based on her own admission to investigators and from Sherborne records,
Julia Turing visited the school during a larger study of Alan Turing’s life
and asked to see his archive, which was stored in a wooden box in a
laboratory. School officials said they found a note underneath the box
after the theft, reading: “Please forgive me for taking these materials
into my possession. They will be well taken care of while under the care of
my hands and shall one day all be returned to this spot.”
Julia Turing isn’t related to Alan Turing, but she changed her last name
from Schwinghamer in 1988, according to the complaint. A former biology
teacher at the Sherborne said Julia Turing claimed she was Alan Turing’s
daughter when he gave her a tour of the school."
