Better leave it alone. Sometimes it makes individuals with a little more income very happy to do something very special for another person anonymously and wanting nothing in return (Ken included). One thing I/we have practiced over the years is Random Acts of Kindness. Just watching the look on someones face when they receive something nice beit a tank of gas or a paid for dinner without ever knowing who it came from makes it all worth it and that pales in comparison to what we are talking about here. I would be willing to bet what Charley did made him happier than many of the car purchases he has made. Certainly the Isetta.

Give it up or we'll all start telling people about some of your random acts too!

Here is another link that is actually a few years old of Jacob and his friend ...Juggling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xck0jU2Mu18
...
With so many people thinking that the next generation has nothing to offer the world...Real stories of people like Jacob need to be shared with everyone ...
...
...If anyone has a special "younger" person that has inspired them...
.....let's hear about them.
..either in this thread ...or start one on your own...
...There's alot of great youngsters out there
