Found a class ring near Vero Beach this past summer. It’s from Fordham Prepratory School, N.Y. 1956. Even had a name on the inside, but it was in script, worn and hard to read. Sent several emails to the school for information. Finally got a reply from the school the other day. They had narrowed the name down and were in the process of helping me track down the owner for me. Got home lastnight and a had a message from the owner who now lives in S.C. Gave him a call back and he identified the ring exactly. He did not remember seeing the ring since 1956. He said something about a girl being involved, but I wont go into details. The ring will be on its way home soon!

thats great. My returned class ring isn't that old it is from 1995 (will be picked up this weekend) It is great that other people aren't greedy and are willing to return things they find. We are a dieing breed. No good deed goes unseen as they say.
