What if they actually sold it to a collector years ago?

I'll believe the family unless you can find the collector it was sold to.

Is this the dude the dining hall is named after?

Seems hard to prove the ring was stolen not sold. But wouldn't the family try contacting the police to see if they still had a record? How long do police keep records?

He and his bro were big GT benefactors. Brother went to Emory I believe and was a President at Coke.

A Schneider?

Yes. A Tech buddy of mine, Ryan Schneider, who got his ME at Tech and is now a patent attorney, bought the 222-0 football on auction and donated it to Tech

There was a ceremony at a game even, he was on the field

WTF is Atlanta coming to that people don't know who the Wiodruffs are? My parents used to use George's tix to the game when he didn't go.

It's a result of letting non-Southerners move in without proper introduction to local lore and customs.
