Touching story unc. And your "Pass it Froward" gift was a
very generous & kind thing to do.

I'm glad I got the chance to meet someone like you here on SI.

Wife and I were sitting in a hotel bar after our arrival in Norfolk counting our pennies for another beer so that we could enjoy the air conditioning. It was 90 degrees and our power in our apartment wouldn't be on until tomorrow. Anyhow the waitress came with what would have been our last beer and no meal and gave us our drink and a 50 dollar bill. Said the guy sitting at the end of the bar would like to buy you some dinner. Went over to give it back and he told a similar story and said he was just passing it on and that I should do the same some day when I'm in better shape.

I'm happy to report I've passed it on probably 10 or more times now. Awful good feeling.
