My fellow and wonderful Fort Worthians. Heres a letter I got from the North Fort Worth Bank on the 2400 blk. of N. Main where I started to bank at the young age of 22. Today the bank is no longer there. Prior to closing it was Central Bank and lastly Wells Fargo. Anyway, once while putting my check into the night deposit I found a leather bag and I though someone had discarded it and thought it would be good for my then young daughters to put their crayons I remember throwing the leather bag in the back of my pickup and I must have drove around with the darn bag for a couple of weeks. I then went to wash my pickup and noticed the bag and decided to open it. Wow guys and gals, inside the bag was almost 5 grand in cash as I best recall. I then called the bank the following day and told them about the contents of the bag which were the night deposit of a then Skillerns Drug store in North Fort Worth. I recall two bank empoyees went to General Dynamics where I worked at the time to retrieve the bag and I told them what I just wrote above and how I found it. They left and some days later the bank sent me a check to go out and dine with my wife. Skillerns Drug Store later called me and told me to go to their store and I could shop for 5 minutes and whatever I could carry out in that span of time would be mine. Well folks, I went and grabbed a bbq round pit with wheels and loaded that sucker up with radios, candy, toys for my girls and Lord knows what else. There must have been a couple of hundred dollars or more of merchandise in the pit and in my arms and the manager told me he was glad for me to have it. At the time I found the store my wife and I were planning a trip to Colorado with our kids and man I sure was tempted to keep them bucks! But, I decided to do what the wonderful nuns at my Cathlic school taught me, Though shall not steal! Though I wanted to!
