McKinley alumnus Bernard Yuen had given his 1973 class ring to a girlfriend in 1975. The girl had left the black onyx ring on a beach towel, but then forgot about it when she picked up the towel. Brian and Jodi Sheley of Adams Center, N.Y., got the ring from an uncle from Hawaii years ago and used the Internet to <B>track down</B> Yuen, whose initials BJKY were inscribed on the ring. They speculate that it was probably first found by someone with a metal detector. The Sheleys, who told their story to a local TV station in New York on Valentine's Day, used the Internet to find McKinley High and the 1973 class president who was a friend of Yuen and recognized the initials. The girlfriend has since moved on to California, and Yuen is married to someone else. But he's got the ring back and oh <B>what stories it would</B> probably <B>tell</B> <B>if it could talk</B>.</DIV> <DIV align=justify> </DIV> <DIV align=justify><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>Questions</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=justify><BR>1.
