Karen Autenrieth vividly remembers the day she lost her wedding ring.
“It was very cold and the snow plows had plowed the snow up onto the curbs,” she said. “I had parked my car in front of my grandmother’s house and I was climbing over mounds of snow, helping each kid get into the car. My hands were cold I didn’t have mittens on and my ring just flew into the snow.”
She dug around for a bit her three kids, ages 2, 3 and 4, waiting in the car but to no avail. She went back after the snow melted and searched some more, but no luck.
The improbable story began during the winter of 1973, when Karen Autenrieth lost her wedding band at her grandmother's house. It's a memory she clearly recalls decades later.
