Wow! What a great story. I’ve heard so many wonderful stories this week about the kindness of people, it goes a long way to blotting out the not so nice things.

I agree, Maureen! Feel-good stories help so much. I’m glad you like this one. (beaming)

Some people are honourable! I, on the other hand, still have a library book from the Library in Montreal (signed out over sixty years ago!) But alas! The library is no longer in existence … hahahaha … just saved myself about $1095 give or take a nickel. G-d’s watching … Yikes!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
(laughing) Sarah, good thing the library isn’t around any more! (snorting)

I love this story! Here is a person who respects libraries

I’m glad you like it, Ms S! (grinning) I love it, too.
