21 years later, lost ring turns up in bass
Associated Press ? December 4, 2008
BUNA, Texas — The one that didn’t get away held an unlikely surprise for a
Texas man.
The blue-stoned class ring of Joe Richardson, engraved with his name, turned
up inside an 8-pound bass 21 years after he lost it while fishing on Lake
Sam Rayburn.
“My first reaction was – you gotta be kidding,” he said today.
The fisherman who discovered the tarnished ring inside his catch contacted
Richardson on Nov. 28 in Buna, about 100 miles northeast of Houston, after
tracking him down with help from the Internet.
His fisherman hero asked to remain anonymous.
Richardson, 41, said he lost the ring about two weeks after his 1987
graduation from Universal Technical Institute in Houston. His mom had bought
it for about $200 and wasn’t pleased when it went missing.
As a mechanic, Richardson said he doesn’t wear jewelry so he tucked the
undamaged ring away.
“I have not cleaned it,” he said. “I told my wife I don’t want to clean
it.”
