Ed, I can’t believe the caller who complained because he paid $20 for his daughter to ride in a rickety old bus while a handicapped child rode in a fancy coach on a school outing. How wonderful and compassionate those people were to make the handicapped child happy. I had polio at age 2 and I’ve walked with a limp ever since. When I was graduating from eighth grade, the teachers informed me I couldn’t go on the class trip to Washington, D.C., because I would hold up the other kids. I would have loved going on a “old rickety bus” on that trip. I’m now 75 and my limp is a little more severe, but I have two beautiful children and four beautiful grandchildren. I am truly blessed, and that person should count his blessings, too!

Thankful

Let’s count together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 .... when do we stop?— Ed. Note.
