Shortly after
retirement, this very thoughtful Seattleite, Leon Delong, wanted to utilize his
new spare time and decided to do something meaningful. When he heard that city
office towers were routinely throwing away half-used rolls of “tp,” he started
gathering them and delivering them to a local food bank, where they were given
to the homeless and those in financial need. Over the last 15 years, the 76-year
old gave the poor over ONE million rolls of toilet paper. “I’m amazed how much
this mattered to people,” Delong said. “To me it was just a nice thing to do.
Now, it’s my claim to fame.”
What is YOUR claim to fame?
