Property of Charles A. Ritz: A Rochester Time Capsule. In the summer of 2011, a couple stumbled upon a dilapidated chest left for trash at the St. Pius X Church’s annual flea market in Chili. Little did they know that inside the trunk was a veritable time capsule containing clothing, documents, pictures, and other personal effects locked away and preserved for more than fifty years, all belonging to Charles A. Ritz.
