Speedy Delivery 47 Years Later
A
package that sat in a hidden vault since
1945 has finally reached its intended recipient.
Kenneth F Perkins received a package last
week containing after-shave, talcum powder
and hair care lotion. It was postmarked
Dec 13, 1945.
Construction
workers discovered Perkins' package during
July renovations at the courthouse in Islington.
The courthouse once housed the post office
and when workers moved a shelf, they discovered
the vault containing some undelivered mail.
Officials
tracked down Perkins, now 79, through the
Ministry of Defence. The package had been
sent to him while he was serving in the
Navy. Mr Perkins was not able to remember
the last time that he heard from the woman
who sent him it.
'She
probably got mad at me for not sending her
a card thanking her for the gift,' he said.
'I hope she gets in touch if she hears about
this.' As for the condition of the gift,
Mr Perkins was not in a position to comment.
'I haven't opened it yet. I'm waiting for
the right moment,' he said. How much more
time does he need?

A
13-year-old boy has spent about £1
million buying a helicopter, a jet, motorcycles
and a pickup truck. He did it over the Internet
using a password belonging to a friend's
mother, authorities said. And, he did it
in a science class.
Canterbury
Police said the boy made the purchases on
May 24th on an internet auction website
using a computer at his school.
The
woman discovered the purchases the day the
helicopter's owner called and asked how
she planned to pay for the aircraft. She
told reporters she wouldn't mind owning
a helicopter but that she has no intention
of honouring any of the debt. The culprit
has been suspended while school governors
investigate the case. The boy's actions
are also under review within the county's
juvenile justice system.
