This is a follow-up to this thread, New York firefighters seek anonymous helper, in which I posted my letter to the Columbus [Ohio] Dispatch.

I learned about this article today quite by accident, having called my new friend Jeff Williams this afternoon.

bump to everyone in Ohio

Thanks, Ohio, for all your generosity and financial support of WTC victims and firefighters. This fire captain is just one of many of you who helped us in so many ways after the 9-11 attack.

By the way, he has now been promoted to Acting Chief of his fire department.

No one back in Ohio could possibly know what that was like, none of us can.

How true this is! None of us can even imagine the horror of being at Ground Zero in those first days.

Wonderful, wonderful story, Silly!!! Thank you!!!

Another of the thousands, if not millions, of acts of human kindness that followed the actions of people unbelievably evil. Thanks! God bless you! ..... and God bless all those firefighters and others in NYC who are still hurting so desperately.
