lost ring

I’ve got “It’s a Small World” running through my head.
My friend called me last week to tell me about this very strange phone call she had gotten at work.
The person asked if she was so-and-so and if her maiden name was so-and-so. Then he asked if she went to such-and-such high school, which is actually no longer a school since it merged with another local school the year after she graduated.
At this point she was getting really nervous, asking who it was that was calling her and wondering what exactly he wanted of her.
He gave her his name and said he’d talked to her sister-in-law and sister to track her down. She was getting even more nervous.
Turns out he found her high school class ring about 5 years ago with his metal detector. He put it away, thinking nothing of it until his kids found it recently and asked whose it was. Then his search began, bringing us to his phone call to my bewildered friend.
Her ring was lost at least 15 years ago on a local school’s football field. Getting it back after all these years was the equivalent of winning the lottery.
Even more amazing than that is the fact that they actually know of each other. Their kids go to school together and they live about a mile apart.
