This past Sunday I found a nice man's 10K high school class ring from the class of 1955. The school is still around and is local to me. I always want to try and return class rings to the original owner and I've been working these past couple of days doing just that only to find out that the original owner is deceased. Because I went through the alumni association of the high school they contacted the family, so they are now aware of someone finding the ring.
In the email from the alumni association they said the family is on vacation and they will contact me once they return in a couple of weeks. At this point I do not know what relation the person(s) are, the alumni rep just refereed to them as "the family".
Am I obligated to give the ring to anyone? What should I do?
A) Give the ring to the family member and forget about it.
B) Try to understand the family member's situation. I mean I'd hate to give it to them only to have them hock it for beer money.
C) Ask the family member if they would agree to have it displayed at the school with a picture of the deceased and a bio in their honor.
D) Other - suggestions welcome.
I want it to be option C, but not sure what the family will want or agree to.
