Evenin'
I'm on ~painfully slow~ dialup at my mom's. The signal from the wireless I usually ~borrow~ from thenayber wasn't very strong. Perhaps because it's snowing here? Anyway...
osage - the story I posted the link to on the Yahoo site was about a woman who had her high school ring returned after 30 years. She believed it stolen. I posted it with the title "It Wanted to Be Found."
dialup. Windows98. I'm signing off.
I'll check in when I can.
LOL! I had to laugh because something like that actually happened to us. Just after we moved to MA, SirKit went to an outing with his work group at a local lake/amusement park place. He was walking back to his car, when he looked down a found a man's class ring. We looked at it when he brought it home, and it was from Purdue Univ. That was amusing enough, because SirKit taught there for a year just after he'd gotten his PhD. Anyway, the only thing I knew to do was to call the school's alumni office to see if I could figure out to whom it belonged from the date and some initials inside it. Amazingly, they gave me the name and phone number of a guy with those initials, and I called and left a message on his phone. I hoped it wasn't a wrong number because the person receiving it would have been vey confused.
A few days later, we got a call from the man. He lives here in MA, and had lost the ring almost five years before. He was really confused when he heard that the ring had been found in the parking lot because he'd lost it while waterskiing on that lake! The only thing we could figure was that they must have dredged the lake at some point and dumped the sand onto the parking lot. It was cool to be able to return it to him.
Corin - thanks. Sounds like the ring did want to be found.
