Tech Ed Lost and Found...

Folks,

Anyone who was at Tech Ed, if you happen to find a Wedding Ring, with "6-10-78" and "...There is Love" inscribed on the inside, could you see that it gets back to me?

Long story, but in recent months, I have been going through treatments that have caused me to lose lots of weight.  Among the consequences of that is that my wedding ring occasionally falls off.  I resisted folks telling me that I should get it resized, in the hope that I would put the weight back on and then would have to get it sized again.  Silly me.  Sometime on Friday, I lost the ring, never heard or felt it fall off, did not notice it being gone until we hit a resturaunt for dinner Friday night.

Getting it back would be a very nice thing, as I doubt that I will be able to put another 28 years into any replacement ring.  The old ring was frankly a cheap, some would say crappy ring, but having it back would mean the world to me and my long suffering wife, Jean...

I feel your pain. I have lost about 60lbs, and last week it fell of during a hike in the woods. I wasn't hoping to put my weight back on, but wanted to make sure I kept it off before I had the ring resized. Like you, the ring was not so expensive, but it did carry quite a bit of memories and symbolism. Good Luck. If anyone finds it I am sure they will attempt to return it.

Never got it back.  It was particularly stressful for my wife, as I am relatively ill, and will almost certainly not survive long term, and so this meant a great deal to my wife.  I think I made things a little better in that we got a ring I had given her way back before we were married (>28 years ago) fixed so she can wear it.  It had previously not been considered worth fixing, but by now was considered worth it.  My wife will be glad to have it, should anything happen to me.
