10-year-old Skyler Palmer of Provo was bored. Sitting on the
shore of Utah’s Bear Lake, he decided to dig in the sand. When his hole was
about two feet deep, he found a high school class ring. The ring had a blue stone and the image of a ram: Highland High School’s mascot. The ring bore
a date – 1971 – and the initials M.R.M. “In the age of the Internet, it was
super easy,” said Skyler’s dad, Toby. “All we had to do was look up a 1971
class list. There was only one person with those initials.” They found Mark R.
May and a week ago were able to return the ring he’d lost forty years before. No
one in my graduating class shares my initials, either. But if you Google my
name you get a published hydrogeologist (not me) and a nice obituary (also not
me). I guess my ring would just stay lost.
