While digging in a roadside ditch, a Woodlands man uncovered a ring: a high school class ring with the profile of a Native American engraved in the middle instead of a stone. He took it home, in hopes that his wife, Stephanie Ruiz, might be able to locate the owner. Ruiz got to work, contacting the Ponca County Public School District and telling the Information Coordinator, Mary Ladd, that she had found a class ring. The 1930's design of the class ring was one that not even Ladd had seen before. A closer look revealed the initials M.J. engraved in the ring, and a quick look at the school's year book for 1930 showed only one person with those initials: Jean Morgan. Although, traditional routes of finding contact information for the woman ended in deadends. Not giving up, Ruiz turned to Facebook. Within 10 minutes of posting the story on the community's page, Ruiz received a notification that the woman she was searching for had passed away. Again, she turned to Facebook to find the contact information of any relatives, and got a hit. Jean Morgan had passed away 55 years prior, when her two daughters were young. They have very few keepsakes to remind them of her. As it turns out, Jean Morgan's granddaughter has followed in her grandmother's footsteps, and is still teaching in the district. The ring has been returned, joyfully, to the family. However, the family members have no idea how the ring ended up in a ditch, in The Woodlands.
