A Super Bowl ring lost four decades ago off Waikiki will soon be returned to former New York Jets center John Schmitt. A Honolulu family wants to return the ring to Schmitt, who earned the ring when the Jets upset the Baltimore Colts in the 1969 Super Bowl. Waikiki lifeguard John Ernstberg found the ring in 1971 and gave it to his wife, Mary, who put it in a box, said Cindy Saffery, the couple’s great niece. The Ernstbergs died in the 1990s, and their estate went to Saffery and her husband, Samuel. “He earned this ring, so by right it’ll make me feel good to put it personally back into his hand,” Saffery said.
