Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • July 24, 2013 Mahwah Tenacious Scout successfully locates lost ring Josephine (JoJo) Pikowski, a Junior Girl Scout from Troop 4156 in Mahwah, recently did more than just a good deed. While at Bradley Beach treasure hunting (metal detecting), Gail Natale approached Pikowski and her dad, T.J., and asked if they could look for a wedding ring that was lost on the beach. They would not stop until the ring was found. After several hours of combing the beach and digging, they finally found the ring. All they had was the woman’s name and the name of the block where she lives. Their family immediately took a walk to her street and went to search for her. Upon seeing some neighbors sitting out on their front porch, they asked if they knew a woman named Gail. Sure enough, she was sitting on the porch next door. She didn’t quite recognize them until they reminded her that she asked for some help on the beach. It only took a second for the news to sink in. Natale held her hand to her mouth and ran over to JoJo, who turned over the ring. Natale explained that the ring is a family heirloom that belonged to her mother. Her sister was in town visiting for the fourth of July weekend and lost the ring on beach. The Bradley Beach woman was so impressed with JoJo and her determination to help find the ring. The successful search recalled the Girl Scout song, “A circle’s round and has no end, that’s how long I want to be your friend!” JoJo made a friend forever in Gail and her family.
