DEAR SUN SPOTS: A special thank you to someone who was honest! Last Friday around 11:30 a.m., I was at the self-serve at Walmart in Auburn. I took $20 in cash, but in my haste, I forgot to take the money and didn’t realize it until about 20 minutes later.

I figured it was gone and hoped who ever took it needed it. But after going to customer service in Walmart, someone had handed it in. I was pleasantly surprised and happy and hope that the person who did this reads Sun Spots. I want you to know that because of their honesty I decided to donate that $20 to someone in need. There are still good people around. — No name, no town
