So good that she got it back...Precious memories to help her after her loss...
Pamela Ann McNeese stole my ring in college.
I want it back.
Man, if that ring could only talk........from a bathroom in Portland, ME, to buried 8” deep in a park in Finland. The mind boggles.
I know exactly where my class ring is. I left it on the washbasin at an Exxon station along the interstate near the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota in 1975. How’s anyone seen it?
Nice story. My husband lost his high school ring. The finder also contacted the high school and it was returned. He also lost the tiffany wedding band i gave him. Never found. Then the tiffany band he teplaced it with. He stopped wearing rings after that.
it’s always in the last place you look
Swallows...coconuts...do the math.
Did he travel to Finland with a “friend”? Was it at the bottom of a suitcase?
God bless the man that found it.
However, I gave one of my GF's one of my cars (1935 water-injected Ford) and, by the time I returned 3-months later from Paris Island, she had wrecked it...
Yeah, "lost" probably like mine was "lost" in 1973. My girlfriend had shown me class rings of her past boyfriends when we first met. Then when I got ready to leave she couldn't find my ring.
Actually, I feel guilty about how I left her. I was in her bedroom for a last go at it with my brother out in the truck waiting for me to say goodbye.
Well, I looked her up on facebook or myspace or somewhere online several years ago and I really dodged a bullet. She looked like she had been rode hard and put away wet.
I got lucky another time too. A girl I went out with a couple of times in high school was later found guilty of felonious animal abuse. She and her husband left their home and a kennel full of dogs to starve to death before they were discovered. He husband fled the state for four or five years to avoid prosecution.
Maybe he bought a replacement ring which he lost 20 years later in Finland.
A relative of mine lost a ring on an air flight. He reported the loss to the airline but they didn't find it.
The ring was found several weeks later in his backpack, which had been open at his feet during the flight. Evidently he dropped the ring and it landed in the backpack.
My bet is that the husband in the story lost the ring and it became lodged in an article of clothing or a travel bag of some kind. The husband went to Finland with that article of clothing or bag and then lost the ring again.
