The return of a 1964 St. Raphael Academy class ring to Pawtucket's Paul Benson depended on a few engraved initials and help from the school's alumni department.

They pointed out that because Shirley does not speak Vietnamese, he missed the woman clearly asking for an entire case of tuna—which she was correctly charged.
