Last year there was a yahoo article about the Virginia Street Bridge being demolished and a new bridge being built. For years it was reputed that after receiving their divorce papers many women would then throw their wedding rings into the Truckee River off the Virginia Street Bridge. In one of the opening seens in "The Misfits" Marilyn Monroe throws her ring in the Truckee River off the Virginia Street Bridge after receiving her divorce papers. But so called local Reno experts thought it was just urban myth.
I had to refer them to a 1977 article in the Milwaukee Journal about the crew that dredged the river around the bridge over two summers in 1976/77. You can read the article by googling Reno River Yields Divorce Rings.
The word around Reno was Tuna Lund bankrolled the operation.
