All to often, we hear about the ugly side of corporate America. I saw this story on tonight's evening news and was touched. Its comforting to see that there are people out there who are honestly concerned about the well being of others.

Yea, verily.

This story, by virtue of it&#39;s exceptional and generous circumstance, warrants notice only as an oddity, as far as CNN is concerned. <_<

Too typical these days.

well it is offbeat because the beat is neither exceptional nor generous.

He found a check for &#036;19,000. His wife, Charlene, got a check for the same amount.


edit:(and who was the person who actually made this happen?)
