A needle-in-the-haystack story that will lift your spirits.

Two sheriffs saved the day when they located an engagement ring that had fallen to the bottom of a muddy creek, as Husar Romance University explains, citing a couple of news reports.

Linda Huffman, the reporting goes, lost the ring when she was celebrating Memorial Day with her family at the creek. While attempting to climb a boulder, she fell and hit her hand on the limestone, sending the ring flying. Her fiancé then enlisted two sheriffs who are part of the Mid-Missouri Sheriffs’ Dive Team to help find the ring. Their search efforts were fruitless on the first day as they depleted the air supply in their oxygen tanks. But after doing some back-of-the-envelope calculating on where the ring may have landed based on where and how Huffman fell, the sheriffs came back the second day and located the ring at the bottom of the muddy creek.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
