DEAR ABBY: A while ago you printed a letter from a woman who was concerned because her husband insisted on wearing the wedding band given to him by his late wife.
I lost my first wife at age 19, but was fortunate to meet my present wife two years later.
She resolved the "problem" of the first wedding ring by taking it, along with the ring she gave me, to a jeweler who welded them together. I now have a unique wedding band and a wife who's one in a million. We've been married 34 wonderful years. -- TOM COLLIMORE, SAN MARCOS, CALIF.
DEAR TOM: What a wise and inventive woman you married. Cherish her. She's an original thinker.
