Brothers Find Man Who Threw Bottle with Message in River in 1976

From Inside Edition.

A message was found tucked inside a Pepsi bottle. Clint Buffington and his brother Evan wondered where and when it came from. The letter was written by a ninth-grade student from a Massachusetts high school. Turns out Peter Thompson, now 67, had written the message and tossed the Pepsi bottle into the Merrimack River in May of 1976. The bottle floated roughly 1,200 miles to the Bahamas. Evan tells Inside Edition about the moment he found the bottle.
