Several years ago, the Air National Guard lost a member over a wedding ring. He was doing a fast exit out the rear, . . . down a canvas chute. For some unknown reason, he swung out on an overhead bar and let loose.

His wedding ring caught on a grease zirc or something on the bar and when his full weight hit: it litterally pulled out his ring finger from his left hand.

A few months later, my own wedding band got caught on a button in a service elevator. The door was trying its best to close, . . . while pushing my 170 pound body away from where my left hand was held captive by my wedding ring.

It took two events to "de ring" me, . . . but haven't worn any ring or watch for over 25 years, . . . and don't miss em. (Use my cell phone to find out what time it is, . . . if there isn't a clock nearby)

May God bless,
Dwight
