I get plenty of opportunities to deliver bad news. It kind of comes with the territory. Too often the headlines deal with people at their worst, or others dealing with some of the most horrific circumstances life can deliver.
So I am always looking for a positive story.
Today we have a good one. No, make that a great one.
The headline on Page One pretty much tells you everything you need to know. But you should still check out Rose Quinn’s story here.
“Delco opens heart
to injured trooper”
State Trooper Jean Altomari was paralyzed in a car crash while vacationing in the Caribbean. She’s not about to let that keep her down.
Now she’s getting a little help from her friends. Yesterday her fellow troopers as well as the public turned out in force for a fundraiser at the Chick-fil-A in Concord.
The place was packed most of the day.
It’s a good story. No, make that a great story. It tells you a lot about the people who live in this county.
Earlier in the day, Altomari learned she was named Trooper of the Year for the Philadelphia, Media and Skippack barracks.
Well done, Jean.
And well done to all those who showed up to offer a helping hand.
Super troopers, all around.
