Calling Gary Franklin: Someone found your class ring
Reader found this while diving in Playa del Carmen, so passing it along.
The year? 1817
Paging Gary Franklin..... Gary Franklin please return to Playa del Carmen.
If you can't make it, I'll go in your place. Just let me know what year you graduated, what your middle initial is and email me a plane ticket.

If he's related to James Franklin, he's just a PLAYA
Maybe it was a burial at sea situation.
or a shark meal situation
April 20th, 2022 at 10:17 AM ^
He gone.
April 20th, 2022 at 10:23 AM ^
Exit: Gary Franklin?
April 20th, 2022 at 11:03 AM ^
Is that Gary's hand, too? That doesn't bode well...

There is a Gray Franklin listed in the alumni directory. He is listed as living in Southgate, MI. He is a BBA, 20XX.

Good point, maybe along with the year and M. I. (since they can be figured out) the guy should prove he was there in Playa del Carmen
I would be stunned if there was only one Gary Franklin from UM.
That's one hell of a generic name.

That would straight nuts to lose your ring in the ocean far far away from home and then be reunited with it. Crazy man!
April 20th, 2022 at 11:35 AM ^
yep, this could be a great ending, and give Gary an amazing story to tell the rest of his life.
April 20th, 2022 at 11:14 AM ^
Nice gesture and all, but did he have to put the guy’s ring on?
April 20th, 2022 at 12:02 PM ^
Be happy you weren't able to see what they did with it later that evening
April 20th, 2022 at 12:23 PM ^
I'm sure they cleaned it after doing THAT.
April 20th, 2022 at 11:21 AM ^
I wonder how Gary feels about being MGoBlog famous?
April 20th, 2022 at 11:44 AM ^
Gary said it was business trip…
April 20th, 2022 at 11:45 AM ^
Gary's wife has a few questions......
Gary's at lunch reading the blog coming up with a story to tell his wife ...
Gary put the moves on Elaine!
Who's this Playa DelCarmen, Gary?
April 20th, 2022 at 12:04 PM ^
Based on the fact that he was wearing his class ring I’m guessing he is over 60?
April 20th, 2022 at 12:36 PM ^
does that make it a dog whistle or virtue signaling? i can't keep up with all these covert signals being thrown around these days.
Neither but there’s a handy website for those sorts of questions! www.google.com
I enjoy this thread. I hope they find him.
You mean the rest of him.
If I were Gary Franklin, I'd make real, real sure the finder of that ring isn't Jim McElwain. You never know where he's put his sharky hands during that trip.
Sounds like Gary could have used McElwains skills to turn the tide but it was to late.
Damn needle in a haystack.
