HAMPTON, N.H. -- A bottled message sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago has been returned to his daughter. The bottle was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while vacationing in the Turks and Caicos. The note inside read, "Return to 419 Ocean Blvd. and receive a reward of $150 from Tina, owner of the Beachcomber." The Beachcomber was a Hampton motel owned by the now-deceased parents of Paula Pierce in 1960.
