As Jimmy said, contact the company. They will put you in touch
with their transfer agent, who will first need to confirm that you
are a registered shareholder (you'll need the name and address
in which the shares were registered in 1985). They will then
send you an affidavit you will need to complete and swear
before a notary that the certificate has been lost or destroyed.
They'll need other bits and pieces like identification, too. The
transfer agent will also likely charge a fee (at least they do in
Canada) to cover the surety bond insurance.
You can probably expect the process to take three or four weeks.
Good luck.

Lance,
Contact the company you own stock in. Shareholder relations. You
will be on their records. Any brokerage firm can handle it if you
have an account. Full service type firm.
Don't be selling that stock now. Laughing.
Best regards,
