Class ring reunited with owner after 13 years
Meghan McCrea McAnulty, now of Charleroi, Allegheny County, knew her proud parents saved up to buy her a class ring in 2007 during her senior year at Knoch High School.
Heading onto the field to play a varsity soccer game that year, she removed all of her jewelry and placed it near the Knoch Knights soccer goal. When the game ended, her class ring was gone.
“I thought as people were shooting at the net, maybe the ball hit it and knocked it away,” McAnulty recalled. “I was more upset about disappointing my parents.”
McAnulty never thought she'd see her class ring again.
Fast forward 13 years , when Todd Trofimuk, Knoch High principal, received a peculiar email May 18 from local resident Jeff Yoder.
Yoder reported that he had found an old class ring while pursuing his hobby of metal detecting at the Knoch High athletic complex.
He said the ring was from 2007 and inscribed with “Meghan.”
Trofimuk played sleuth and reconnected McAnulty with her ring.
