I thought precisely the same thing when I read it. :-)

Good people always realize they were helped by others - and they remember them and their kindness. It shows humility.

Dr. Sowell is a master story teller, with far more experience than I could ever hope to achieve. I like this piece because it speaks to personal responsibility and kindness, and amplify’s the message that just giving someone something only dimishes the worth of the given object, in today’s entitlement society it is truly shameful for politicians to bribe the electorate with promises that are economically unsustainable.

That was the Mrs. G I knew. And I never expect to see anyone like her again. Someone like that might be as close as the nearest mirror, Mr. Sowell. Nice story.

Thank you! A sad occasion, but a great story about people with principles.

Great article! I’m imagining a little gray-haired lady, probably wearing a sharp hat, chewing Dr. Sowell out!

Me too. I needed a story about integrity, sacrifice and people making ethical choices. Thank you Mr. Sowell your wisdom was especially needed today. The Panther hate has many of us going over the edge... need to step back - remember there are good people everywhere (well, except Washington)

Yeah me too. There have been particularly filthy breeds of crap lately, and this was nice brain bleach.

Another thought occured as I was posting before, and that’s IIRC Dr. Sowell turned 80 last June, or July. Mrs. G was twelve years older than he if that be the case.
I hope Dr. Sowell lives to be 100, or more if he is comfortable, and healthy, and continues writing his thoughts, and recollections for us all to appreciate, and learn from.

"That article was great. Cleaned all the nasty political crap out of my brain." Why Oh Why can't we get people like Mr. Sowell to run for POTUS?

He actually turned 81 last June but I’m not quibbling. :-)
Amen to a long life and that he keeps sharing his wisdom.
