wish i could have been there...hopefully someone will have a picture or 2. Unfortunately I do not live in Lititz, merely work there. But this has been a complete upset to the shop owners, employees--I am glad that there are people out there who do understand and although may not know him, still show kindness to the fact that there are plenty of people who are affected by "a small thing". I think its funny how this is upset to us can cause such an uproar to people who don't know him, but yet Michael Jackson's death is so much more important, or the Govorner who wasn't really on the Trail. So he's not a celeb...I guess that means to some people that he's nothing. Well he's a wonderful person...and I applaud those of you who agree and have a heart!
Now, that I have gotten into this..You'll probably see me on here more about whatever else in the world is ridiculous!

Honestly Rush, I am not quite sure of what all was done, I'm kind of embarrassed to say that! There were 2 people very in control of the petition and actually it was a VERY VERY short time between when it was signed and yesterday when this article was done....I truly wish I would have thought about that sooner! Thanks for the advice....hopefully, if I ever am in a situation again..I will use it!

it's called a human interest story, you miserable SOB.

...or would you rather read about another shooting or fatal accident?

what's really "pathetic" is when LNP publishes a story illustrating the good side of humankind and people like you complain about it. do us all a favor Salva Veritate, and move to NYC where there's plenty of murders and rapes to satisfy you.

This would be fine in the paper. In the back somewhere with the comics. But to devote all that front page (With photo) to it? Same thing with today's paper and Kunzler.

Yes there's a space for feely-good news. IMO it should not be in the front page. Way too much new-eralike.... ugh.
