BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) — Nancy Nicosia wasn't sure if she would ever get to return a 1965 Hingham High class ring she found years ago to its owner with the initials TJM — even after The Patriot Ledger ran a story about her search in late August. Now Thomas J. Murphy of Orleans has it again, almost 50 years after he lost it. Nicosia handed the gold and garnet ring to Murphy earlier this month, during a visit that Murphy and his sister Sheila Davis of Hingham made to Nicosia's Braintree home. "I wanted to thank you in person for your perseverance," the retired lumber yard foreman told Nicosia. "You were hiding all the time," Nicosia teased. "And I didn't know it," Murphy said.
