Hats off!

01-23-2004: Today's salute! in in honor of one of my fondest childhood memories: Captain Kangaroo.

Bob Keeshan played the beloved Captain Kangaroo on television for thirty years, spanning from 1955 until 1985, when he retired from the spotlight and began lobbying for children's issues.

Mr. Keeshan passed away today at the age of 76.

CTV has a nice story about Mr. Keeshan. You will be missed, Cap'n. salute!

01-03-2003: You know, philanthropists rule.

The mystery donor has struck again in Morgantown, West Virginia, USA.

Since 1978, a mystery donor has given at least $1000 to the local branch of the Salvation Army each year. And this year was even better - the donor left a $1000 bill, a $500 bill, both wrapped up in a $1 bill. It's always a different kettle, and it's always a large amount of money.

Please read the Modesto Bee's story, as I cannot do this donor justice.

A big salute! to this donor. The Salvation Army is a very good cause to give to.
