Lost watch and ring return after decades of separation
Two Ohio women recount unlikely rescues of keepsakes. Lauren Butler's late husband's Union Steel watch was mailed back after 50 years, found by a Seattle man who traced owners via obituary clues. Shirley Wallace received her Marshall High School class ring, lost during a 1950s swim, after more than six decades.
