HERE IS WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS
10 YRS AGO
BENNETT CO. BOOSTER NOV 20 1996
ALVIN STRAIGHT, THE MAN WHO WAS DRIVING HIS 17 HP JOHN DEERE LAWN MOWER WEST OF MARTIN, ALONG HIGHWAY 18 LAST JULY 24, DIED AT A SIOUX CITY IOWA, HOSP. STRAIGHT MADE NATIONAL NEWS IN 1994 WHEN HE PILOTED HIS RIDING LAWN MOWER 240 MILES FROM HIS HOME IN LAURENS IOWA TO WISCONSIN TO VISIT HIS AILING BROTHER. ALVIN STRAIGHT WAS 75 YEARS OF AGE.

THIS ARTICLE REALLY IMPRESSED ME BECAUSE OF THE LOVE AND COMPASSION HE SHOWED TOWARDS HIS BROTHER, POSTING THIS SO IF ANYBODY HAS ALVIN ON YOUR LINE, CAN READ ABOUT THE LOVE THIS GUY HAD FOR HIS FAMILY, NOW A DAYS SOME PEOPLE WONT GO OUT OF THEIR WAY IF IT IS GONNA INTERUPT THEIR DAY. I HAVE THE COPY IF YOU WANT ONE,
