LOS ANGELES-- An unemployed Negro handyman who returned $240,000 he found on the street is $10,000 richer today.
In the last two weeks, since finding the money, life has been a hectic series of press conferences and telephone calls.
It all ended happily for the Johnsons when they got a $10,000 check from Brink's, Inc., the armored truck company that lost the $240,000.
Brink's originally offered Johnson a $90 a week job and a college scholarship for his eldest son, Richard, 16. Johnson said he didn't want the job and his son wants to work his way through college.
Johnson says he's been bombarded with job offers, letters, and phone calls since finding the money.
