Executive Coach Videos

Transcript:

When passengers get off an Executive Coach bus, they often leave things behind.

“I think this is just a headphone case”

But a much more valuable and sentimental item has been in the lost and found since late December.

Senior Driver Greg Davison was doing what’s known as deep cleaning sometime in late December here on Bus 147. He reached between one of the seats, and that’s when he found this gold ring.

The ring had initials inside, and the date, June 14, 1952. Stu Metzler went and looked up marriage licenses for that date, checked with a jeweler, and put out a news release.  News 8 reported the story, but the mystery went unsolved.

“I wouldn’t say would’ve given – I had given up, but there was no – literally no place else for us to look.”

But then a woman who had gone on a bus trip to Plain & Fancy before Christmas called, and said she had lost a ring – THE ring.  A grateful Edith Long came to retrieve her husband’s wedding band that she’s been wearing since his death 11 years ago.

“It must be very special to you.”

“Thank you very much, yes, it is. Thank you so much.”

The 88 year old also got to thank Greg Davison when he happened to call in from Virginia.

“You have no idea how happy I was, and thankful that you were so honest.”

“I’m so glad that, uh, that the, uh, that, uh, it’s returned to it’s, uh, to it’s owner, that’s a great news.”

Edith and John Long were married for 54 years, and now she says she feels like a part of him has returned.

“It feels like I’m married again. It’s a good feeling.”

In Lancaster County, Susan Shapiro, News 8.

“Aw, it’s such a good story”

“Yeah, I felt the same way, it is, I’m happy for her.”

“And our News 8 at 6 producer, Rhonda Kaiser, loves these kinds of stories as do we, and she really put in on the front burner and got something done.”

“She certainly did.”

“Glad it had a happy ending, and she said she checked with Plain and Fancy and Willow Valley, where she lives, but only recently thought to call the bus company.”
