Name: Markis
Type of object lost: Ring
How long ago was item lost? Yesterday
Background: While packing up to leave the Joplin, AR campground
and swim beach on lake Ouachita after a very unsuccessful MD outting (he had found
exactly one zinc penny in 90 minutes of searching), Fred was asked by an RV camper
whether he had found any rings. He went on to explain that his son, Markis, had
lost a brand new ring that was engraved with his name and had been both purchased
and lost yesterday.
After about a 10 minute search in the water, the ring was found in shallow water.
After his father gave the ring back to him, Markis came running out of the RV,
still in his pajamas, to thank us personally. Seeing his happy face made the
effort very worthwhile.
