Went to a fourth of July event in town and found Benny volunteering at the watermelon stand. I bet you have folks like him where you live. He is a WWII vet, so that must put him at, what, 90 year old?
He is always ready to step up and help in whatever little way anyone needs.When they call it the greatest generation, I agree. Although, it is the way, in these small mountian hamlets and river valley towns to lend a hand, the most generous folks seem to be Benny's generation.
Hope you have a bounty of watermelon wherever you be!
