Woman Unravels Mystery Of Class Ring Found 3 Decades Ago

SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan woman who found a class ring three decades ago on a high school football field says she's unraveled the mystery of its owner.

Donna Stadel of Swartz Creek tells WJRT-TV that the ring found at Durand High School indicated it was from Swartz Creek High School and had the initials "K.L.C." engraved inside. She says she searched old yearbooks and used word of mouth, but didn't find the owner.

She kept the ring in her jewelry box until 2013, when she posted about it on Facebook. She says her search led her to Jessica Campbell, whose mother Kaye Lynn Campbell died in 2005.

Jessica Campbell says the ring represents a piece of her mother's accomplishments and she plans to pass it along to her own daughter.
