Awesome story! Could you imagine what young people, of today, will tell their grandchildren when they grow old...
"Now Billy, way back in the early part of the 21st Century, I stood in line at the APPLE store for 3 days to get the iPhone 15! Those were the days!!" I am only in my 50's and feel quite youthful - but honestly... if the young people today are the leaders and thinkers of the future.... heaven help us! :-) Your story is so sweet I am going to forward it to former CBC RCI Host Ian McFarland!
