Feel Good Story
I am not immune to a sweet tale of human decency:
On a plane bound for O’Hare International Airport, Elsie Clark felt weak, scared and utterly alone — until she spotted a pair of shiny leather shoes across the aisle.
What happened to the 79-year-old Canadian over the next 12 hours — she was embraced by a good Samaritan, escorted through O’Hare in a wheelchair and welcomed to a swanky high-rise for a dinner overlooking Lake Michigan — saved her from a traumatic stranding in Chicago.
