Brock Ulm was shocked when his brother texted him to say one of his wife’s Facebook friends (Jason Grizzle) had posted a picture of his class ring that he lost over 20 years ago. Brock says he lost the ring during the winter of 96-97 while he was walking home from school. He then contacted Jason and he told Brock that his daughter had found it in their backyard, which was an empty lot that he used to cut through every day on his way home from school. After losing the ring, Brock would spend time looking for his ring because he knew where he had lost it. Turns out that it was found in that same area! Brocks stated, “It’s crazy that it laid covered in dirt for 20+ years and that it happened to be found and returned. Thanks, Jason Grizzle!”
