I found my first class ring with the SE today in a HS sports field. It's a nice one too! Sure enough, my digital camera has crapped out, so no picture. It's got the owner's name and class date (1993). I was able to get his address and phone number from his alumni association. Tried calling but no answer. I'll try again tomorrow. He's gonna get a nice surprize and maybe my karma will improve.

**UPDATE 1:
I made contact with the school's alumni association president and she told me that the ring's owner has moved to LA. She also told me that her sister has been in contact with him via Myspace. She will email him with the news of the find. More to follow!

**UPDATE 2, CONTACT MADE!!
I got a call this afternoon on my cell phone all the way from Los Angeles, CA. It was the owner of the ring! He was damn near speechless and could hardly believe that he was going to get his ring returned. He told me that when he lost it he and his brother searched for it for 2 days. He wanted to know what he owed me and I just told him to do a good deed later himself and pass some good karma along to someone else. I feel pretty good about the outcome too and I'm rewarding myself with a couple beers. It's amazing that all of this has happened since Sunday. Isn't the internet wonderful?
He gave me his mailing address and I'm gonna send it off tomorrow.

**UPDATE 3, RING SENT!
I sent the ring off today. I asked the owner to email me a picture of him wearing it. After I get the picture I'll post it for everyone to see.

I did the research probably close to a year ago, so it is a little dated, but the Canon A540 I bought my wife is a sweet little camera.
