'''Conscience hurt for 20 years'''

BLOOMINGDALE - Augie Simpson, who used to operate a service station in Bloomingdale, received a letter with a sum of money, Saturday. The letter read, “Money owed you for many years; you had a gas station.”

According to Simpson, he had filled a customer's tank, and the customer asked to charge it. Simpson agreed and never heard from the customer again — until Saturday.

The time interval was something in excess of 20 years.

Simpson is happy “there are still honest people left in this country.”
