Sometimes...
One night in the 1960s, at about
11:30 p.m., an older African-American woman
was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to
endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and
she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A
young white man stopped to help her - generally unheard
of in the conflict-filled 60s.
The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
put her into a taxi cab. She seemed to be in a big hurry.
She wrote down his address, thanked him and drove away.
Seven days went by and then a knock came on the man's
door. To his surprise, a giant combination console
color TV and stereo record player was delivered to his
home. A special note was attached. The note read:
"Dear Mr. James:
Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the
other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes but my
spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able
to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he
passed away. God Bless You for helping me and unselfishly
serving others.
Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole "
