It's nice to pick up my local newspaper and see a story like this (on the front page too no less!).Mail carrier Courtney Spaude [who above has a striking resemblance to film star John C. Reilly] is a hero in the eyes of Madison police and an 84-year-old woman whose home is on his downtown route. When the woman didn't unlock her screen door so he could get to her mailbox for five days. Spaude alerted police, who credit him with saving her life.> Read the full story at the Wisconsin State Journal
What I like about this story is that Spaude isn't just going through the motions with his work - he's made connections and took a risk (being seen as intrusive) for the better. Too often many of us punch in and punch out mindlessly so to speak - like being on a treadmill for forty hours a week. Spaude took a chance when it really mattered. Thank you Mr. Spaude from your Madisonian neighbor!

ReplyDeleteMr. Spaude is someone who cares. And when we care we awaken the Hero inside.
