The long lost graduation ring

“I am not really sure where that ring has been, but I wish it could tell me… *laughs*

Okay, Let’s back it up a bit… Rick Mortenson who lives in Dawson Creek now, was the original poster, he tells CKPG, his daughter found the ring back in the early ’90s in Williams Lake and he has been trying to find the owner ever since.

” I know she was in Highschool she came home one day with this ring on her finger and I said, oh where did you get that ring and she goes, oh well I found it at school, and I says oh… it looks like a grad ring.”

Rick says. it was put away and forgotten about until he moved to Dawson Creek. And of course, he was looking for something else and came across the ring in a box. He decided to try and find the owner again, this time with the help of Social Media.

” I thought well, you know I will take some pictures and post it on the internet and Facebook and see if we can get any response and it went around really fast”

Janice, who lives in Toronto now and isn’t on social media, says, she received a strange text from a family member from Vancouver Island.

“On Sunday Morning at about 8 o’clock I got a text from my step-sister Candance, asking me if this was my ring, she sent me a picture and I said … ya it’s my rings”

Rick has officially mailed the ring now and Janice says she will probably wear it again… if it still fits of course. She really wanted to send out a heartful thank you to the finder.

“Thank you so much, thanks for taking the time, again I don’t know that many people would even be bothered, so I really appreciate that that’s kind of the best part about this really was that you know it is just a ring but that he took the time to do that, I think that’s the real story right?!. ”

Thirty-eight years later and thousands of kilometers apart, a Toronto woman will soon be reunited with her Prince George graduation ring.
