<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 5797379, member: 100459&quot;]Way to go.&nbsp; I was an idiot at 13.&nbsp; I knew my mother had a Peace Silver dollar in her purse and I wanted to get something at the store.&nbsp; We lived about 5 miles from downtown, so I had to bike it to the store.&nbsp; I got what I wanted from the store and spent it all.&nbsp; When I walked into the the house, my mother was there as well as the store clerk (actually the manager) was there with my mother.&nbsp; He had returned the coin to her.&nbsp; She took my bag of goodies and I was going to have to work at the store to pay for my goodies (candy).&nbsp; It turned out that I had to work at the store for a week.&nbsp; The minimum pay in 1959 was about 50 cents an hour.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t too swift on high finance then, but I was paid $3 which should have been 6 hours, yet I ended up working 24 hours.&nbsp; When I got home, my mother gave me my goodies.&nbsp; I could hardly look at them, so I gave them to my 2 sisters and 1 brother.&nbsp; I have strived to be as honest as I could be.&nbsp; The store manager and I became good friends.&nbsp; He did when I was in military training at Ft Dix, New Jersey.&nbsp; The Army, as hard as they are, gave me emergency leave to go to his funeral.&nbsp; Don&#039;t tell me stealing doesn&#039;t it pay...&nbsp;&nbsp; at least it paid for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
