A sucker for a happy ending, Dianne McKeown was quick to jump into action to help a vacationing Calgary couple that lost a wedding ring on a Penticton beach on Sunday.
香蕉视频直播淚 do really love happy ending stories and who wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 want to help someone who came to our wonderful city only to have their vacation disrupted after losing a wedding ring?香蕉视频直播� said McKeown.
After seeing a Facebook plea on the page, which McKeown is a member of, she reached out to the couple. Angi Gerrie, her husband and kids had been hanging out at Skaha Beach when she asked her husband to hold her ring for while she was putting on sunscreen. It was in the process of handing it back to her that the football flew in knocking it right out of his hand.
Their initial search was unsuccessful, so the couple purchased a cheap metal detector. It only resulted in more tears as they came up with nothing. A friend then pointed Gerrie to the treasure hunters club香蕉视频直播檚 Facebook page where she posted a desperate plea for help around 9 p.m. on Sunday.
McKeown saw it and met Gerrie香蕉视频直播檚 husband early on Monday morning before the beach got busy again.
香蕉视频直播淗e had an idea of the area and had already spent quite a bit of time searching on the sand so I decided to go right into the water. I turned up a few bottle caps and was getting close to completing the search grid when I got another hit,香蕉视频直播� said McKeown.
Sitting in about eight inches of water just off the shoreline, there was the ring.
香蕉视频直播淚 told him I just have to see the reaction of his wife when he brought that home. So off I went and followed him to the house they were staying at with my camera in hand,香蕉视频直播� said McKeown. 香蕉视频直播淪he just went into tears. She just said 香蕉视频直播榶ou found it, oh my god.香蕉视频直播� She thanked me profusely. It was a good way to start the day.香蕉视频直播�
McKeown will now have her own great story to share with other treasure hunters from all over the Okanagan Valley when they regularly meet on the third Tuesday of the month at the Penticton Museum and Archives at 7 p.m. As well, when the group holds their 10th anniversary inviting people from all over B.C. and Washington State to an event on Sept. 7 and 8 at Sudbury Beach.
香蕉视频直播淓veryone has a story. We have a lot of members in the club that have found and returned a lot of rings, jewelry and we never really put it out there to get publicized. I thought why not put this great story out there, everyone likes to hear a heart-warming, fuzzy news story,香蕉视频直播� said McKeown. who added the club has also donated $32,500 so far to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation hospital campaign through various events and fundraisers.
