Watch 84-Year-old's Reaction to Winning New Car After Sinking Incredible 93-Foot Putt
This Mississippi woman was rewarded for her incredible golf shot at the University of Mississippi with a brand new 2020 Nissan Altima.
It's been 47 years since Debra McKenna lost her boyfriend's class ring while washing her hands in a department store in Portland, Maine—but, it recently reappeared in the most miraculous place.
Debra was only 16 years old when she lost the ring that was given to her by her boyfriend Shawn, a young man she would end up dating throughout high school and college.
Despite her heartbreak over the ring's disappearance in 1973, Shawn replaced it a few years later with a wedding ring.
The pair were married for four happy decades until he passed away in 2017 following a long bout with cancer.
In High School, Shawn first asked Debra out for a date on Valentine's Day—so imagine her surprise when she got a call on February 14th in 2020 from her high school alumni association informing her that someone had located Shawn's long-lost ring.
Not only that, it was found beneath eight inches of soil in Helsinki, Finland—more than 3,800 miles from where it had been lost.
Helsinki native Marko Saarinen says he found the ring while he was out on a hike with his metal detector. When he saw the graduation year and high school—and the initials carved inside the ring, he reached out to Morse High School to find its rightful owner.
No one knows how the ring could have ended up on the other side of the ocean, but Debra thinks it's a sign from Shawn. "He never believed in coincidences; he believed everything happens for a reason: He wants me to remember him."
"There was a lot of weeping when I learned that someone found it and made the effort to reach out and find me," the 63-year-old woman told the Bangor Daily News last month. "It's very touching in this world of negativity, to have decent people step forward and make an effort. There are good people in the world."
