Alright, here is the update! Owner has been identified and I spoke with his wife this evening. The gentleman is still not home, but I hope to speak with him tonight when he returns.
Neil in West Jersey -- You are a rock-star! Great work helping to track the owner down.
Once I can nail down the details on returning the ring I'll post a close-out update.
I am so happy to have found the owner. I wish him many happy years and good memories!
Happy hunting to all,
Steve
