There are really an extraordinary number of truly wonderful people out there, who go about doing their jobs and being everyday heroes to other people. We rarely hear about them and they don't seek the spotlight because they don't see themselves as anything other than regular folk.

We have to be reminded during these dark days in Trumpistan that most folks are good. Thanks for posting this story. I needed it this morning.
