I FOUND MY RING By Leonid H. Holder BEFORE SHE died in 1968 my wife Jean presented me with a ruby and diamond ring which I cherished. Then one day early in 1970 while tending to bushes in my front yard the ring slipped off my finger. I searched for a long time but could not find it. The following October I attended a meeting at The Church of Two Worlds on Q Street in Washington, BOLD BOOKS D.C. A medium I did not know. Mrs. Le Lacheur, was giving messages. 6/ Irwin Williams She stepped up before me and said, Progressive Studies In AsHolog,. A "I get the name Jean and she says you will find your ring behind a bush toward the rear." I went home and searched but still 1 could not find the ring. The following March after a night of heavy rain the thought came to me that my ring might be visible now. I went out and looked behind a bush at the corner of the house and the band of the ring was protruding from the dirt. I am eternally thank- ful for this mediumistic message from Jean. — Washington, D.C.
