On a different, but kind of similar note to the badge reunion stories...
Earlier this summer I got a call from our University Director of Alumni Relations. She had gotten a phone call from an officer with the Connecticut State Police. He is a police diver, and found an SIUE class ring on one of his dives. (we didn't find out if it was a crime scene dive).
It was engraved with the letters Sigma Pi, some initials and the year 1974. The officer wanted to return the ring to its rightful owner and had called the University. The Alumni Relations Director asked if I might have some way to find out who it belonged to (yeah, I know, I know, our Alumni Relations office doesn't even keep track of those records). So I made a quick call to Sigma Pi HQ. It didn't even take ten minutes for them to make a match, and we were able to return it to it's rightful owner who had lost it back in 1979!
