<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8274362, member: 100459"]WOW! I have a coin story. I was 13 years old (I'm 74 now, so I assume the Statute of Limitations is over). My mother had an old silver dollar. I thought my mother would not miss it, so I got it and went to a local store and spent all on junk. I thought I was free and clear, but I got called by my mother to come to the living room. I got a big surprise when I got into the living room with the store manager there. (He went to school with my mother.) I found out that he had returned the coin to my mother. Instead of my mother paying him for the coin, she kept the coin and I was told that I would work in his store for 2 hours after school for a week. That was in 1960. I am thankful to the man for returning the coin and letting me pay off what I had got from his store. I love my mother for teaching me integrity. After working off my debt, he hired me to work at the store the next summer. It's kind of funny (maybe not), but I got a degree in accounting and became a CPA working at a University as an auditor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
