Haffner, a Baggage Service Office supervisor (主管人) for Southwest at Midway, checked the letters __10__ and realized they were very precious items that needed to find their __11__.
Normally, the procedure for reuniting items with their owners is fairly __12__.

If the person has been on a connecting flight, that's not an issue, because they have a database of __14__ going back a couple of years. But the __15__ was that the only identifying name in the whole batch of letters was Rachel DeGolia—and she hadn't been on the flight.
Haffner and her colleagues tried their best. After three weeks of __16__, they finally found some __17__ of a Rachel DeGolia from Ohio on the Internet. Then she managed to track down a __18__ number.
“At 9 p.m. one night I got this call,” says DeGolia. She was __19__ to tears, calling Haffner “a wonderful young woman” for __20__ her family legacy (遗产).
