While visiting the area in January, I lost my Texas A&M gold class ring from 1991 over off lower Pando Creek near the Eldelweiss condos.
I got the ring when I graduated in 1991 and have been wearing it ever since. A few families from Arlington have owned condos up there since they were built and Jack Peterson of Jack of All Trades has taken care of three generations of us. He’s involved in the Follies thing up there during Snowdown, among other local things.
I was walking up from Purgy’s late and fell in a tree well and had a fight to get out – during which my hands froze and my ring fell off. It was late January, so there was ton of snow. I didn’t say anything till March, when I asked him about the snow and sent him an aerial photo outlining the location of where I thought I lost it.
A few weeks passed, and I get a call one morning that he was up on the slope and found it. I thought that was a really wonderful and selfless thing, as I am a fourth generation A&M graduate and it means so much to my family.
If anyone needs Jack’s services as a handyman or one of his many other talents, he comes highly recommended and can be reached at 759-2377.
Thank you,
