John Leschinskey, who graduated from Virginia Tech in 1997, misplaced his ring while playing volleyball in one of the school’s quad areas.
A Virginia Tech alum got his college ring back over 25 years after it disappeared on campus.
John Leschinskey, who graduated from the university in 1997, misplaced it while playing volleyball in one of the Blacksburg, Virginia, school’s quad areas. “I had set my sandals, shirt, watch, and ring by the post so that I could play. When finished, I went to gather my things and saw that the ring was missing,”In January, a campus facilities crew renovating the court’s drainage system spotted a small shiny object in the dirt where they were working.
Equipment operator Pat Saylors saw an engraving with Leschinskey’s name and tracked him down on social media.“When it arrived, I looked at it and found it hard to believe that it was actually recovered and returned to me” Leschinskey said.“It’s good to see that there are still honest and decent people out in the world.”
