My friend Charles Shattuck, owner of the Wild Birds Unlimited store in Hockessin, wrote to me about the generosity of his customers:
"Just when you think
the world is gone to that hot place below ground, people demonstrate that
kindness still exists. Our donation drive for local wildlife
rehabilitator Hillary Taylor and Tri-State Bird Rescue yield phenomena
results. I filled my van with materials they need to help baby birds and
baby critters.
"A customer came in on
Saturday with a large donation basket from the children at Mary D. Lang
Kindergarten Center in Kennett Square. The teacher, Mrs. Ramagnano, asked
the kids to collect basic items like paper towels and rubber gloves. She
believes one boy might have borrowed the toilet paper from his home bathroom as
it was unwrapped. If true, I can only imagine the parents questioning the
future president of our country about where the toilet paper went. Hopefully his response would be 'Mother, I cannot tell a lie. I gave it
to help the baby birds.' "
