Mike and Mike were discussing this story yesterday. Golic's wife called in and offered to buy the tickets so the woman wouldn't have to sell the rings. -EK

The ring is from a previous marriage.  The story headline, while technically true, is misleading.

It's like if I was interviewed for a story titled, "Man has to sell off grave plot of military son killed-in-action to avoid foreclosure," and it turned out that I happened to own a grave plot of some unrelated veteran (who was necessarily someone's son) that was KIA in WWI.  It's all true but if the details were clear, no one would care.

^^^^ Party pooper.

You are correct this isn't "The Gift of the Magi."  But you do have two happy couples:  One is giving her husband a great 40th birthday gift and the other is getting engaged.
