This is really difficult to find good stories, especially when you don't get the paper for half of the week. Anyways, here it goes!
The Holiday season is all about giving, but it is really hard to give in these tough times. This doesn't stop David Thrush from giving the gift of joy. For 25 years he has been able to give a gift that is so rarely given for 25 years straight, even as he moved from house to house. Every year during the Holiday season, he Sets his house up with a magnificent display of Christmas themed lights and inflatables, and holds an open house for the local children. He even has a Santa Claus come in to his house, and has tables garnished with cookies, and delicious hot coco. Even more, all the kids that visit him leave with a small gift in their hands. For 25 years he's has given joy to kids by making his house look like the winter wonderland that all childhood dreams are filled with. Go Dave!
In Wichita, Kansas there lives a man who has a heart full of generosity, a mind swelling with kindness, and a stomach that giggles like a bowl full of jelly. Bob Rogers, a WWII vet who hit the beaches of Normandy and lived to tell the tell, now takes on the role of Santa in various locations in his city. He dedicates himself to the role and has become one of the most animated Santa Clauses anyone has ever seen; he even puts a pillow under his suit that giggles "like a bowl full of jelly." He does his acts free of charge and with great spirit. He has such a distinct personality that he can connect with people of all ages, from toddlers who can barely walk to 90 year old people who have seen much in their lifetimes. What makes this persona truly unique and dedicate? He's 86 years old with cancer and a pacemaker in his heart, he also has trouble hearing due to a shrapnel wound he received in D-Day. He himself even states he isn't living on borrowed time, but is living on extended time. Even when the future looks so grim, he happily dedicates his life to making and impact and bringing joy to others. Bob rogers, you are truly a unique, one of a kind person who is making a great impact on the world. Go Bob!
