A boy scout’s aid

A random act of kindness in Coral Gables was felt all the way up here in Michigan last week.

Tuesday afternoon, my senior-citizen mother was trying to cross a busy street near The Palace. A passing motorist spotted Mom, stopped his car in traffic and helped her across the street. She did not get the man’s name, but we assume he’s a former Boy Scout. Thank you for the assist.
