A post card was received recently by the BHS Alumni Association, simply reading, "class of 1980 ring found, please call." The BHS Alumni Association contacted a South Jersey resident who stated a 1980 class ring was found. "Rosemary" saw an article in the Asbury Park Press about a Bergenfield High School ring found in the sand. A call was made to her son in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to provide us with the name and phone number of the man who found the ring while beach combing in Ortley Beach. The review of names in the Alumni Directory listed only one CMM in the class of 1980. Thankfully Cecilia Maureen Murphy now Smith, responded to Harris Publishing Company with her new name and address, and was listed in the directory. Mrs. Smith confirmed that she indeed had lost her ring the summer of graduation. She remembered the exact moment the ring slipped off her finger while in the water at Ortley Beach. A call was made to the New Jersey beachcomber who found the ring, and we are happy to announce the return of her ring, just in time for her 20th High School Reunion this November. You can still order an Alumni Directory by contacting Harris Publishing Company at 1-800-877-6554. |
