      "The Kinsey twins, (Bessie Montgomery
      Kinsey's granddaughters thru her second son
      Harvey Montgomery Kinsey) said that when
      Keener was in Europe he bought a very nice
      diamond. (Probably from some impoverished
      refugee.) To get it home without red tape
      he bought a spool of thread, unwound it, and
      made a hole in the wooden spool large enough
      for the diamond. He then very carefully
      rewound the thread and sent it off to his
      fiancee, Lillian Riesto. They didn't
      explain how he communicated to her that this was
      a very special spool of thread." from
