Default My Best Find Ever!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I assume this is my best find ever ! The way it transpired and the Look on Her face when she saw it again. This Young lady is in her 80's and in better shape than I. Everytime I see her, she mentions the ring! Hoping the article isn't to large to send and/or big enough to be read.

Thanks Again My New Found Friends, Roger

That is one of the nicest stories I have seen on here. It was a wonderful thing you did for her. Especially having it in a ring box. The lord will definatly have a place for you when he calls from up above. It makes me proud to be a member of a forum where the members are so thoughtful and considerate of others. I take my hat off to you.

Default It Still Makes Me Feel Good Inside

Thanks Guys,
I called Mrs. Bingham's son the evening of the find and ask a few questions and told him of the recovery. I ask him not to tell her as I plan to Suprise Her the next evening. Having the Ring in the Ring box, my digitial camera ready in my jacket pocket, I knocked on the door. I started out asking questions: when they moved out of that old house, Her madien name, where she graduated, etc. She started looking at me as I knew Her past (and I really didn't know her at all, that's where her son had helped out). I handed her the ring box, removed my camera and as she smiled, I took her picture. That original picture has been lost because of lightning frying my old computer (thought I had it saved on disc), but the picture is plain as day within my mind.
I've found other rings for people but was called upon to find those. This one was PURE LUCK with a HAPPY ENDING!! I've had several great finds prior to and after this, but this one it truly the best ever....That Big Smile!

Thanks To You All For Looking And Letting Me Join,
I Will Post Other Finds, Roger
