Joan and Malcolm Rodger have matching, custom-made wedding bands whose woven rope design represents Malcolm, Joan and the girls blending their lives together. Four years ago Malcolm carefully removed his ring to play golf, but found the ring was missing from the golf bag pocket when he finished. A thorough search was in vain. After a year, Malcolm contacted Summer Phillips, local goldsmith, to attempt to have the ring reproduced. Upon seeing the ring’s unique design she remembered the pawnshop owner bringing her a similar ring with gold items he was planning to have melted down for cash. The ring was returned, along with the information that the ring could not have been reproduced. To this day, the Rodgers believe God was at work in getting the ring that meant so much back to Malcolm.
If you have a story to tell, please send it, along with a photo and $25 entry, to Seeds of Learning at P.O Box 5831, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147. Your donation will help Seeds continue to educate our Pagosa preschool children and you will have an opportunity to share your wonderful story as Joan Rodger has done.
