Lost Class Ring... Found!
Published: 5/22/2008

Talk about lost and found! Lee Joe Whitehead, a 1962 BHS graduate, recently got some good (and very surprising) news. After graduation, Mr. Whitehead went to Boot Camp in Maryland, where his BHS class ring was stolen. He never saw it again and probably never expected to. However, thanks to a very considerate couple in California, this former Beaver will soon have his class ring back on his finger. While on a walk near Travis Air Force Base in Suisun, California Anne and Billy Hicks found Mr. Whitehead�s class ring. They contacted BHS, and the search began to locate the owner. Unfortunately, there was not much information to go on. Using the initials on the ring and the year, Mr. Godfrey attempted to find the owner through yearbooks. Mr. Godfrey, Mrs. Goble, Katie Hincher, and Tabitha Corell researched online yearbooks and even Googled what information they had, but still couldn�t locate the owner. Coincidentally, guidance counselor Millie Odell, happened to walk into Mr. Godfrey�s office and saw Mr. Whitehead�s picture on the computer screen. Amazingly, Millie said that she knew him, and he was one of her husband�s best friends. She gave Mr. Godfrey his phone number and the rest is history. Mr. Godfrey is mailing the class ring to Mr. Whitehead this week.
