Man learns casino losses not deductible
GADSDEN, Ala., Aug. 17 (UPI) -- An Alabama man said his class ring, which he lost 14 years ago, was returned to him by his mail carrier, who discovered the item while mowing grass.
Michael Amberson of Gadsden said he lost the ring in 1996 while he was a freshman at Jacksonville State University and the fate of the ring was unknown until mail carrier Chad West found it in the grass while mowing a lawn in the Alabama City/Walnut Park neighborhood, the Gadsden Times reported Tuesday.
West said he was able to return the ring Wednesday after recognizing Amberson's name on a piece of mail he was delivering.
"He knew it was me," Amberson said, "but I have no clue how it got from the dorm at JSU to Walnut Park."
