Last August, while staying at
the Navy Lodge, I lost two rings;
one of my wedding rings and an
evening ring.
A few days ago the Navy
Lodge called me and asked a-
bout the rings I had lost saying
they had found one and, if I would
identify my rings, they would
check to see if it was one of
mine. I did, and the ring was one
of the ones I had lost. My hus-
band went to pick up the ring and
offered them a reward which they
refused. They said they were hap-
py just knowing they made someone
else happy.
I would like to give a special
thanks to the Navy Lodge em-
ployees.
