1. I was at the beach--Santa Monica--with girl friends in the early 1970's.

They all decided to go for a walk, and I stayed on my towel reading a book.

You know what they had when they came back? One of them had found a diamond
solitaire ring in the sand at the water's edge.



We all went later that day to a jeweler in Westwood where it was confirmed to be
a real diamond.

She eventually had the stone set in a dinner ring--and as far as I know, still has the ring!
