ATLANTA - A University of Georgia alum who was recently reunited with his lost class ring after five decades has now lost it again—just weeks after its remarkable return.
What we know:
Fred Baker III was thrilled to recover the keepsake, which he originally lost in 1970 while traveling internationally. The ring was discovered in a home in Spain by a man sorting through his grandparents’ belongings, and he tracked Baker down to return it.
The story gained national attention, with many touched by the unexpected reunion after 50 years.
But according to University of Georgia Alumni, Baker has misplaced the ring again. He hasn’t given up hope of finding it, but says if it doesn’t turn up this time, he’ll simply order a replacement.
Despite the latest twist, Baker remains upbeat—and perhaps a bit more cautious about where he puts his ring next.
