Mike, 30 years ago in Racine, Wisconsin... They closed the grade schools early on account of a winter storm. A chinese immigrant co-worker had little kids who rode the bus home. She was panicked when she couldn't reach them at home that afternoon. After several hours of frantic searching, they appeared as if by magic. The kindly retired couple who lived next door had taken them in. My chinese co-worker and her husband had never met her neighbors until that day. Sometimes closing school early is not such a good idea... Regards, Bob S.
