Class Ring Returned Almost 50 Years After It Was Lost

Here's a nice feel good story. A fourth-grade elementary student found a shine treasure near a school in Mansfield, Texas. That shiny treasure happened to be a class ring. Nathan Garcia turned the ring over to his school's staff. Initials on the ring 'MEN' helped the school staff track down the rings owner by looking through past yearbooks, Mary Elizabeth Sloan (her maiden name was North,) a 1959 graduate at nearby Mansfield High School.

"At first I didn't believe them," Sloan told KDAF, "and then they showed me the ring and I thought, 'what?'

Once she got over her surprise, Sloan was very grateful about the ring's return.

"It's a sentimental thing," she added. "I'm a very sentimental person. Things like this mean a lot to me."
