One afternoon, 65 years after the death of his father, Bill Knobbe woke from his daily nap at his home in Denver to a call from an unknown number. Taking a chance, he answered it.
“She asked me if my birth name was William Hodgson and I immediately sat straight up. I was flabbergasted,” Knobbe said. “She told me the story and I dropped everything to go right out to Nebraska that weekend.”
The caller was Colette Jessen from Grant, Nebraska, and she had been searching for Knobbe for more than a decade.
