My mother and the Kelley's were best friends from way back, when De first arrived in Long Beach and joined the Long Beach (Little Theater) Playhouse. After Carolyn died, my mother inherited their jewelry, but that ring was not in the collection. Their jewelry is now with me. If you want to know more about De and about the friendship between my mother and the Kelley's, read Terry Rioux's book, "From Sawdust to Stardust: The Biography of Deforest Kelley, Star Trek's Dr. McCoy".
Thank you for the interesting story, and welcome to the board. Please take some time to review the rules for posting here, including the one regarding the resurrection of old threads.
This one has been dead for over 13 years. Let’s let it rest in peace.
Thanks
