RING RETURNED OF CLASS OF ’72 TO MEMBER

By Beth Myers

Earlier this summer I was contacted by Beverly Golden. While Beverly was going through her late mother’s belongings she found a 1972 Baptist College class ring. She assumes her mother found it on a beach in the Miami area years ago. No one in Beverley’s family had attended BCC or CSU, so she reached out to the Alumni Office to see if we could find the ring’s rightful owner. The ring was engraved REH.

After some research through our old yearbooks, I found that only one member of the Class of ’72 had those initials, Ronald E. Hickman. The only problem was that we had no current phone number, address, or email address for Ron. Luckily, after a few phone calls and Google searches I found him. His wife’s family regularly visits the Miami area, and he has no clue when he could have lost the ring.

Ron is retired from a staffing agency he founded and lives in Marietta, Georgia. He had not been in touch with CSU for over 40 years.
