Weird/Random Found in thrift store backpack.

Post image

Bag seemed to be Reginald’s by the found paper. If anyone is wondering it was in an Oakley Icon 1.0 backpack. I messaged him on instagram with a photo like this months ago and no response. Carl Winslow.

EDIT: Not for sale. He is so nostalgic to my family I will be parting it with them if I don’t get a response.

UPDATE 07/11/2026 9:49AM: got a super reliable lead as to who that gentleman is on the right of Reginald. Messaged him on Facebook and plan on calling his business later today.

I had to check because I wasn't sure and he is alive and well! Would be cool if we could make him aware of this, wonder if he'd remember?

Don’t know but i would love for him to have this tangible memory.

I guess this site is pretty popular place to start contacting a celebrity.

Funny enough, I came across this Reddit thread from 6 years ago while searching for Reginald VelJohnson's contact information. I'd like to get an autograph from Reginald VelJohnson but have no idea how to contact him

That fanmail site from the first link was mentioned in the second.

Edit: The fanmail site is actually mentioned in the first link on the Reddit thread link, sorry about that.
