Dear Bob,

The reason I wrote is because I have a really wonderful (but sad) story that I was hoping an old Rule High alum could help me finish:

My dad is a Vietnam veteran who was really good friends with a Rule High grad named Nick Smart. When they were in the Army together, and before Nick was sent overseas to Vietnam, they exchanged high school class rings with the promise that they would exchange them again when Nick came back to the U.S.

As I'm sure you've guessed, Nick never came back from Vietnam. My dad still has Nick's ring, and I was hoping that I could help him find Nick's family to explain why Nick had the wrong class ring.

I can't remember what year Nick graduated -- my dad has the ring -- but I can find out.

Is there any way you or any other alums could help me find Nick's family? Did he have any siblings who went to Rule that we could get in touch with? I think it would mean a lot to my dad to be able to talk to Nick's family.

Thanks so much,
Alyssa
