CHARITY Guilty man sends overdue cash

More than 30 years ago, he raised money for a charity but spent it on himself.
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Three decades after spending $300 he had raised for a hospital charity, a man was so wracked by guilt over his youthful misdeed that he finally paid up -- with interest.
The would-be fund-raiser sent a $10,000 cashier's check to a group that provides free hospital care for children, said Pittsburgh radio personality Jack Bogut, who received the man's check and letter.
"It was more money than I had ever seen. I was overcome with greed," the man wrote to Bogut, who was then a KDKA radio personality promoting the fund-raising campaign.
The 46-year-old man, whose name Bogut did not release, had raised money for Children's Hospital Free Care Fund when he was 13 years old but instead spent it on himself.
