Ring returned years, miles later by Tracey Taylor Battalion Reporter When Dan Fuschak, Class of ’62, lost his Aggie ring, he thought it was gone forever. Eight years and 900 miles later, he got it back — all the way from Charleston, Ill. On a winter’s day in 1974, Fuschak looked at his hand and realized that his class ring was gone. He immediately knew that either he had left it at work, or it had flown off his hand during a snowball fight that afternoon. A quick check at the lab where he worked showed he must have lost it while playing in the snow. Fuschak and his wife Janice searched the yard thoroughly but did not find the ring. They placed an ad in the Charleston newspaper offering a reward to anyone finding the ring, but re ceived no answer. They gave up hope. At least until Friday. The Fuschaks, who have since moved back to College Station, received a call Friday from the Association of Former Students saying they knew where the ring was and how the Fuschaks could get it back. It seems that, in September, Charleston phone company worker Terry Noble, was burying telephone cable and came across what appeared to be a gold ring. He put it in his pock et and took it home to his wife. The Nobles inspected the ring, but could only make out that it was from Texas A&M, Class of ’62. It had been underground so long that the name inscribed was illegible. They took the ring to a jewel ers to be cleaned, but still only the letters “Fuse” could be made out. Terry’s wife, Rosalee, who works at the placement center at Eastern Illinois University, found the address of the Asso ciation of Former Students at Texas A&M and wrote to ask for help. She asked the association to check its records for the Class of ’62 to see if an address for any one with a last name beginning with the letters “Fuse” was listed. The association checked and found only the Charleston address for the Fuschaks. Mrs. Noble checked that address and found it was a post office box belonging to the com pany for which Dan Fuschak used to work. No forwarding address was listed. Mrs. Noble called the Associa tion of Former Students and asked them to check for more current information. The asso ciation discovered that the Fus chaks had become Century Club members in July, and their new College Station address was listed. The association called Janice Fuschak and said her husband's ring had been found and gave her the name and phone num ber of the Nobles. Mrs. Fuschak called the No bles to verify the information, and then called her husband who was away on a business trip. She said she was too excited to keep it a secret. Fuschak was surprised at the ring’s return. “It’s amazing to get it back af ter eight years, especially since people up there don’t realize the significance of an Aggie ring,” she said. Mrs. Fuschak said the inci dent also has re-established her faith in people. “Not everybody would have gone to the trouble.” she said. “We’ ve been trying to think of something we could do to show our gratitude.” P USIIXMMT STUDENT DISC.
