From the Appleton Post Crescent comes a great Thanksgiving story about a local 84 year-old resident who had unknowingly run up a $3,000 water bill, after his pipes burst in freezing weather. As if that isn't bad enough, the gentleman was not home due to an extended bout of sickeness, and thousands of gallons of water spilled from his pipes without his knowledge. After he was billed by the city utility for the spilt water, he pled his case to city officials but the decision was made to not waive the bill.

After his story was told, residents throughout NE Wisconsin lined up donations to more than cover his bill. He plans on donating the rest to the Salvation Army, as it helped the soldiers out in WWII when he served.

It's nice to see folks pulling together to help out those less fortunate. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
