Man Who Walks 21 Miles a Day to Work

‎02-07-2015 09:50 PM

I'm guessing that is to AND from work.

OMGosh. And in that weather.

Never missed a day of work.

I am so thrilled someone did a fund raiser and bought this man a vehicle.

A happy thought and happy moment in a world full of unhappy events.

I saw that this morning. As it turns out, the Ford dealership gave him the car.

What kind of boss would pay a man like him $10.50 an hour after working there for over 20 years??????

The boss said he held him up as a model employee.

He needs a raise.

Stat.

The look on the gentleman's face, he looked like he couldn't quite believe it. I saw an interview, he seems like such a nice man. Such an uplifting story.

I hope down the road we don't find out someone was giving him rides.

He didn't walk ALL the way to work every day.

But it was enough for his boss to be impressed and his friends to start the campaign for him.

You hope ""down the road"" --- was that a play on words?

Yes, but that wasn't the whole route. I think he also took a bus, but there was no bus service all the way to his job.

Here is a story - with him on the bus.
