PALM HARBOR, Fla. — William Fogarty doesn't understand the fuss. He just forgot to pay a parking ticket.

When he finally realized it, the 86-year-old retiree made good and mailed in a money order — to pay a $1 ticket he got 60 years ago.

Fogarty got the ticket in Norfolk, Va., in May 1946. Soon after, he bought a $1 money order to pay the fine but forgot to send it in. About a month ago, as he was looking through a box of collectibles from his Navy days, Fogarty discovered the money order.

So he wrote a letter to the Norfolk Police Department and included the money order.

The money order will not be cashed. Instead, it will be framed and displayed.
