Walter Bond played guard for the University of Minnesota Golden Gopher basketball team 20 years ago, when the team made it to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament in 1990.

A ring that marked that accomplishment was stolen from him shortly after he received it. But this week, Walter Bond got his ring back. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Bond, who's now a motivational speaker.
