LIBRARY BOOK RETURNED FORTY-SEVEN YEARS LATER

Len Augsburger forwarded this Associated Press story from Hancock, MI.
"Robert Nuranen handed the local librarian a book he'd checked out for
a ninth-grade assignment -- along with a check for 47 years' worth of
late fees.

"Nuranen said his mother misplaced the copy of "Prince of Egypt" while
cleaning the house. The family came across it every so often, only to
set it aside again. He found it last week while looking through a box
in the attic."

[The book, which was due June 2, 1960, carried a $171.32 late fee.
