Another story about a lost, then returned, high school class ring
Stafford woman shares her own tale of a long-lost ring, ending with an online-enabled solution.
Date published: 6/15/2008 By Rob Hedelt CALL IT "Search for When Stafford County's Susanne Lazanov read the details of a Falmouth woman's ring mystery here recently, the Falls Run resident couldn't believe the parallels to her own story. A high school ring belonging to a missing owner acquired by her father. Check. Passed to her with the understanding she'd try to track down an owner known only by initials engraved on the inside. Check. A search that stretched over decades, with sporadic attempts to use school officials and classmates to find the owner. Check. And, finally, success at identifying the owner. Check. "I couldn't believe how similar our ring experiences were," said Lazanov, a freelance writer who moved to Falls Run in 2004 and is editor of the community's newsletter. Lazanov's ring was found by her father one afternoon in 1972 while he walked the family dog in the Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn. Her father spotted something shiny on the sidewalk and bent over to find a Lafayette High School ring, class of 1970. It was a hefty, man's ring with the initials "S.D." on the inside. Lazanov, who was visiting her parents, was entrusted with the ring by her father, who asked her to do everything she could to find its owner. The ring took a back seat for years to a young marriage, a new house and a first child. When her father passed away in 1976, Lazanov received some of her father's belongings, which jogged her memory about the promise to find the ring's owner. A letter to the school went unanswered. The ring got tucked away for some 30 years. Two summers ago, Lazanov decided to use the power of the Internet, posting a found message on Brooklyn's Craigslist. No response. On classmates.com, she learned a woman named Debbie was organizing a reunion for the classes of 1970 and 1971.
