SPRING HILL
Morgan Katocs, a 6-year-old trying to rid herself of bad memories from a car accident in July, has hit a glitch. Morgan's family is selling on eBay a neck brace that Morgan no longer needs, with the proceeds going to the Tampa Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. After the Times published a story Saturday on the auction, more than 3,000 people viewed the eBay listing and bids topped $400. But eBay staffers said there was a technical error in the way the item was listed - so now Morgan's family had to restart the process. The bidding ends on Saturday. To find it, go to eBay and type in "bad memories."
