Diamond Star

 

The staff at Bullitt Central High School in Shepherdsville, Kentucky recently received a call from a woman looking for a former student – one who’d attended the school four decades ago. The woman said her father had been a metal detector hobbyist before passing in 1996. Over the years he’d found several lost treasures. Some he’d converted to ready cash, and others he’d kept. One of these was a class ring from Bullitt Central High. The woman mailed the ring to the school, hoping they could reunite it with its owner. The initials, “CDM” were barely legible inside the band. They were matched to Curtis Mullins, a member of the school’s first graduating class in 1971. Curtis doesn’t know exactly how he and his class ring parted ways. “I felt like I lost it or it got shuffled in a move. You know, moving around from house to house.” But he’s pleased to have it back after forty years.
