A feel-good news story???

I couldn't believe it. In a world where all we hear are stories about death, destruction, recession and George Bush, all horrible topics, I heard a honest-to-goodness positive news story tonight. All right, it was on ESPN, but it was nice to hear nonetheless. You can read a story on it

Basically, a wonderful elderly gentleman has taken it upon himself to 'adopt' his local high school's athletic program by collecting cans, one at a time. Thus far he has single-handedly donated more than $10,000 to the school's athletic program just by collecting and recycling cans. And people say that they can't make a difference when they do something good all by themselves. Don't tell this guy that, he'll just laugh at you.
