The largest single gift to a secondary school has been made to the George School, a Quaker school in PA.
What I find particularly interesting about this is that it is a pay it forward kind of story. Because of being treated well...and then being treated well again...
Never underestimate the power in treating someone well.
Remember that if the opportunities for great deeds should never come, the opportunities for good deeds are renewed day by day. The thing for us to long for is the goodness, not the glory. F.W. Faber
It reminds me of the story of the hotel in NYC. Many years ago a man needed a room when there were no rooms available. The desk clerk, really the manager George C. Boldt, gave the man his own suite of rooms, moving his family out. A friendship developed out of this. Eventually he became the manager of the Waldorf-Astoria. The man who needed a room was William Waldorf Astor. Snopes has the full story.
