TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Topeka pharmacist has been reunited with the class ring he lost in 1987. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Jim Schwartz, owner of King Pharmacy, had his class ring custom-made in 1984. He had attended the University of Kansas for five years while he majored in pharmacy. The $600 ring represented that journey. In 1987, Schwartz put his ring on a metal tray above a bathroom sink while attended a compounding conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He said it was gone when he exited the bathroom stall. Thirty-four years later a a man in Minneapolis left a message on his answering machine. He told Schwartz his ex-girlfriend of three years had purchased the ring at an estate sale.
