One Ring Joins 3 Men

On October 21st, 1948 my father,William E. “Bill” Mansfield, was given this ring to commemorate his 21st Birthday. That was exactly 64 years ago. Had my Dad lived he would have turned 85 years old on Sunday, October 21st, 2012. (He passed away July 30th, 2012.) His father-in-law, John J. Maguire bought the ring for Dad, had it engraved with Dad’s initials on the outside of it and a simple message on the inside -  along with the date… and then gave it to him. And Dad wore it. All through my childhood. I have memories of holding his hands as I bounced on his knee, looking at his ring, comparing the size of our hands. Seeing how different they were/ Dennis Mansfield .
