Wedding Ring Makes Its Way From Rochester To Africa
It’s an incident that tales of wonder are made of – a wedding ring made of white gold slipping out of a man’s finger, making its way in a shipping container way across the seas to Africa and then, wonder of wonders, being found and waiting to get back to its owner.
This is how it all happened. Bob and Marilyn from Rochester are a part of a church volunteer group and they help collect hospital supplies and send it off to Guinea where a hospital is being built. It was during one of those times in March that the ring slipped off Bob’s finger and he didn’t realise it till the container was on its way to its destination. So a message was sent and in spite of unrest in Guinea and rumours of thefts of cargo at the port, the container got to its destination and the ring was found and will be sent back with the next person who travels out from there.
However, this isn’t the first time this has happened to Bob – he has lost his wedding ring at least four or five times – some have stayed lost and some he has found much later.
