Default Ring #44 Is Back Where It Belongs!!
Bill and his wife along with a few family members met me on the beach, only a few yards from where I found his ring in the water a few days ago, at 5PM.

I handed the wedding band to his wife to once again place it on Bill's finger!!

It was lost not 6 years ago as I had been told, but 10 years ago!

Bill and the entire family was very happy the ring was now where it belonged.

GL&HH Friends,

CJ

PS I thanked him for the $25.00 donation towards the cost of batteries and told him that if he loses it out there again---it's mine!!

(For more detail of finding the ring and owner refer to--- "I Tried To Beat Max's 14+ Gram Ring, But---" of 7-16-12!)

The smile on their faces says it all, including yours. I wonder if that entitles him to another honeymoon.

If you ever feel down and out, you can give me all the rings you want so you will feel appreciated. That's the least I can do for you Ole Buddy.
