FYI: Advice to anyone getting a class ring. Advice to cadets on their class rings and to parents of cadets. The engraving inside the class ring should always include your full name. Mottos or sayings are neat, but they make found class rings with a motto inside and no name almost impossible to return. John Smith class of 2022 is easy to find and return but “John 3:16” is difficult to locate.

Share with your cadets and class pages.

Need a little crowd source help. For IRS reasons I need a formal written appraisal of 60 USMA rings donated to West Point Museum. Legally, the USMA museum cannot provide an appraisal. So I need a certified appraiser to go to the museum and make the appraisal there on site. I am of course, willing to pay a reasonable fee for this service. The museum is aware and willing to assist. Thanks for any leads or anyone who can help, preferably somebody in the greater West Point area. thx Michael McGurk

Part two of the story, Dr. Wright also collected USNA Rings. His widow gave the collection to me. I considered returning them to Annapolis, epoxyed into a toilet bowl. However, taking the higher road. I (Michael McGurk) turned the USNA collection over to the Naval Academy Alumni Association. They are coordinating a display location at Annapolis.

Owner found: Need some help from our friends. The name in this ring was intentionally removed. Most likely when it was stolen. However, there remains some faint traces of three or four letters that can be seen. Anybody with better computer skills or better eyes that can make out the faint letters. Best seen under high magnification.
