Envelope and six page transcript entitled, "Draft: Detroit Time Capsule," consisting of remembrances about the group from Harry Jay Baker, the 1953 president of Kiwanis Club No. 1; Walter J. Ray, the group's International President; Donald A. Johnston, the group's first president; and founding members Harry A. Young, and Charles Cowdin. Within the piece is described as a "vocal time capsule" to be preserved on Vinylite. As Baker discusses the "last 38 years" of the club, and addresses "people of 75 years from now," it appears to have been transcribed in 1953, and intended to for listeners in 2028. The transcript is paired with a envelope addressed to Charles Cowdin from Kiwanis Club No. 1, and postmarked 1965.
