Class Ring Found



After seeing the story about the wedding band found on Vail Mountain and retured to its owner after five years, Jim Ash of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce dropped by the Enterprise office to turn in another piece of jewelry.

Ash found a man’s class ring at the Brush Creek Park late last week. The 2002 ring has the name Roke Valasco engraved on the inside of the band. It is here at the newspaper office, located at 108 West Second Street. Tell us the high school it’s from and the color of the stone, and we will be happy to reunite it with its owner.
