Just one more cool story, piled on top of a thousand other great stories.

1. Is that the widower guy? That was awesome!

[kayakjohnny]

2. Yes and yes. He is, and it was.

[Lex]

3. Is it the one with Charles?

I love that one. My dad sent it to me and said be sure to watch it.

[kayakjohnny]

5. Yes, you all seem to be ahead of me. And I thought I was tuned in.

Well, I am. But anyhoo.

[Lex]

6. I love it! Everyone should see it!

I still wonder if those kids rigged the "pull the name out of the box" thing though, so Charles's name was pulled.

9. You're a shifty one for thinking that, Lex. But perhaps as she was swirling her hand around

in the very clear jar, the one piece of bright orange paper in a sea of white ones, just happened to catch her eye and she felt compelled to nab it. You're so funny. Good one. Cheers.

[lies and propaganda]

13. i think they were saying the kids rigged it intentionally so he would win..

I dont think Lex was being mean spirited.. I thought the same thing, that they did it because the cool, older guy deserved it.

[kayakjohnny]

14. Mean no ill will. I agree.

11. 1922. Imagine that. The things he has seen since then.

[Jeanette in FL]

K'd and R'd. I have tears in my eyes after watching Charles and his story. Absolutely beautiful.

18. How awesome was that!!

Four tissues later ... when he said he's dying off, everybody his age around him is dying off - and he teared up thinking about his wife - then pointing to the young people and the future and how wonderful and dedicated they were ... God this is heartwarming and such a testimony of where we are today. Our hope is with our youth - I'm dying off too. GOBAMA!
