Greg Dashnaw, trainer for the Siena College men’s basketball team, figured he’d seen the last of the 1988 National Invitation Tournament ring that was stolen from his Albany apartment in 1991.

That’s why Dashnaw was “stunned” last week when he got a call from the Siena human resources office last week to tell him an anonymous visitor had dropped off the missing ring, which is colored silver with a green stone.

“He said something about he found it in his house in a cup,” said Dashnaw, adding the man didn’t leave a name or number. “It may have been sitting in this cup for years. I’m just glad to have it back. It still fits. How about that? … Whoever expects to get something like that back, especially after (23) years?”

Dashnaw, 55, has worked for Siena for three decades. Though he didn’t know the monetary value of the ring, Dashnaw attaches great sentimental importance to the jewelry, which honors the 1988 Saints who won the North Atlantic Conference regular-season title before losing at Boston College in the first round of the NIT.

“First of all, it’s still got the Indian logo on it,” said Dashnaw, referring to Siena’s old nickname. “And it was the first championship ring I ever had. And that was a good team, one of our best teams.”

Dashnaw’s name is misspelled on the ring, which is missing the ‘n.’

Also still missing is Dashnaw’s 1989 NCAA Tournament ring that was taken in the same theft in 1991.
