Marylander returns library book -- 73 years late
And you thought you had some problems with overdue books. According to news reports, a man whose love of history was fueled by a book he checked out of a Pennsylvania school library in 1936 has finally returned it. Thomas McArdle, who now lives in Greenbelt, was just 12 when he checked out "The Birth of Rome" from Chestnut Street Elementary in Scottdale. He recently found it, and did the right thing. School officials waived the late fees (probably enough for a Steelers season ticket).
