BDN Article: Firefighters 'rescue' ring

I love a good story and this one is a great one. It's about a bride-to-be whose engagement ring fell down the drain (something we all fear from the moment we become engaged nearly as much as drawing up the guest list) but was luckily rescued by the local fire department. I love the bride's quote: "It kind of renewed our faith in humanity. People don’t ever go above and beyond for anyone else, and they did." Kudos to the Orono fire department!

And what's more is that the groom-to-be is a childhood chum. I went to Montessori school with him in the sixth and seventh grade, and his parents were both professors in my Master's program. I can't believe that we are all finally growing up! And the reporter who penned the piece is also a friend (and a bride-to-be herself) who agreed to be a guest speaker in the journalism class I taught at UMaine for the past two years. It's a small world, especially in Maine!

Thanks Nicole for sending this along!
