Tom Pallan isn’t sure where or when he lost the ring.

Somewhere and some time over the past 50 years, the silver ring handed out to all forestry graduates went missing.

While it wasn’t particularly valuable, it was significant. In 1958, Pallan became the first person of Indo-Canadian heritage to graduate from the Forestry program at the University of British Columbia.

He was also a double-major student, earning a second degree in engineering at the age of 25, along with an iron ring that students receive upon graduation.
