LUDINGTON, Mich. (UPI) -- A Michigan native says a man recently
contacted her to say he had found a class ring she dropped in Lake
Michigan in 1954.
Jan Zacharda, who had immediately replaced the ring after losing it
during a visit to Ludington State Park, said she had forgotten about
the lost item until she received a call from Robert Savage, the
Ludington Daily News reported Monday.
"I looked at my husband and said, 'You have got to be kidding me,'"
Zacharda said.
Savage said he found the ring 12 years ago while using his metal
detector at a beach on Oxbow Lake, a body of water Zacharda said she
has never visited. Zacharda said she has no idea what may have
happened to the ring to carry it to the beach from distant Lake
Michigan.
Savage said the ring was inscribed with the initials "JP" for Jan
Pedersen -- Zacharda's maiden name -- an "L" for Ludington High School
and the year of graduation, 1955. He said Zacharda was the only one in
her class yearbook with those initials.
Zacharda said the returned ring now resides on her index finger, where
it will be in less danger of slipping off.
