SAN ANTONIO, TX A wedding band lost nearly 50 years ago found its way home this Valentine s Day.
Robert and Karen Autenrieth got married on April 16, 1966. Not long after that, the couple was living in Chicago when Karen lost her ring. We were climbing through the snow drifts, and I was helping the three kids get into the car, she recalled in an interview with KSAT. At some point in time, the hand went (this way) and the ring went into the snow bank.
She searched frantically, even long after the snow melted away, but the ring was nowhere to be found.
Karen Autenrieth vividly remembers the day she lost her wedding ring.

“It was very cold and the snow plows had plowed the snow up onto the curbs,” she said. “I had parked my car in front of my grandmother’s house and I was climbing over mounds of snow, helping each kid get into the car. My hands were cold – I didn’t have mittens on – and my ring just flew into the snow.”
She dug around for a bit – her three kids, ages 2, 3 and 4, waiting in the car – but to no avail. She went back after the snow melted and searched some more, but no luck.
