IT STILL FITS -- Anderson Union High School alumnus Vickie (Romero) Adkisson receives the 1966 class ring she lost in October of 1965 from Cottonwood's U.S. Postmaster Beverly Fickes, whose father Walter Hicks found the ring 15 years ago while metal detecting on the Red Bluff High School athletic field where a set of visitor bleachers was being replaced. The initials 'V' and 'R' led Fickes to eventually discover and track down Gib and Vickie Adkisson in Clovis, Calif., near Fresno. The return of the ring ceremony, held 44 years later, took place Oct. 23, 2009, on the campus of Anderson Union High School, which recently celebrated its centennial.
