Not A Mummies Boy

Egypt Book Returned To Library After 47 Years

Michigan man Robert Nuranen handed his local librarian a book he'd checked out for a ninth-grade assignment - along with a cheque for 47 years' worth of late fees. According to WTOPnews.com Nuranen found it last week while looking through a box in the attic. ``I figured I'd better get it in before we waited another 10 years,'' he said after turning it in with the $171.32 cheque. The book, with its last due date stamped June 2, 1960, was part of Nuranen's fascination with Egypt. But he said he never did finish the book.
