HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A 1964 Klein High School class ring has found its way back to northwest Harris County after a 61-year journey that apparently went through Vietnam and Germany.
Its discovery prompted a community-wide search for its rightful owner.
The ring was delivered to Klein ISD last week by Chung Ho, whose brother acquired it in Germany in 1982 while producing a Vietnamese music concert. Ho believes the ring may have belonged to a U.S. soldier who served in Vietnam.
"1965 is a year that America sent many troops to Vietnam," Chung said.
Yolanda Barlow is the Klein High School receptionist who met with Chung.
"She said it was in Vietnam. And I was, like, wait, you brought her here?" Barlow said.
