Airline High School Class of 1980

Fun fact…I did this on a Match.com date 😂

The dinner rush was starting.
In a booth, an elderly man was staring at the menu, squinting. He moved the candle closer. He moved the paper further away.
He looked up, embarrassed. He had forgotten his reading glasses.
"I'll just have the soup," he mumbled when the waiter arrived, defeated.

The waiter, Mike, realized what was happening.
He didn't rush off.
He crouched down so he was at eye-level with the man.
"We have some great specials today, sir," Mike said cheerfully. "Let me tell you about them."

Mike spent 10 minutes reading every single entree, description, and price out loud. He didn't sound annoyed. He sounded like a storyteller.
The man smiled. "That pot roast sounds good."

Mike closed the menu. "Excellent choice."
He didn't make the man feel blind. He made him feel served. 🍽️👓

A mother made a run to Walmart with her young son. While in the store, she turned around and he was gone. She looked all over for him, and was on the verge of becoming frantic when she walked to the front of the store and spotted him.
She was just getting ready to lay some scolding on him when she realized he was doing something very strange. He was kneeling at one of the benches just inside the store and he was praying. She could not understand why he was doing this. Then she looked above him at the huge poster he was facing. It had photos and descriptions of missing children, and it read: “Every second counts.”
So she took a photo of her son doing this and posted it on Facebook. It went viral in no time. And as it did, one Facebook commenter summed it up pretty well, writing: “Whether or not you believe in God really doesn’t matter. This was a child in Walmart who was thinking about others and doing the only thing he could to help. The world would be a better place if everyone followed his example.”

Please send get well wishes to our classmate Charee Sangprom. He’s been in the hospital several days. He is not on FB but his wife, Jantip Sangprom, has a page. Send thoughts & prayers to her so she can read them to him.
I do not know any details but know over the years Charee has suffered many strokes. I plan to visit him today at Willis Knighton Bossier to check on him.
