I had a great teacher in my father. He always taught us to do the right thing, even when no one is looking. One time when I was a kid...about 12 or 13...he took me to a Bruins game. The people in front of us left before the end of the game, and as we were leaving, my father noticed a wallet either on the seat or under the seat in front of us. He found the guy's license in the wallet and he lived somewhere in Dorchester. My father grew up in Southie and knew approximately where the guy lived, so we drove to the guy's house to return the wallet. We lived out in the western suburbs, so it wasn't exactly on our ride home. I thought the guy was gonna kiss my father...he insisted my father take some cash for being so kind and honest, which my father refused to do.
He would have been 103 yesterday. He made it to almost 90, and I still think about him pretty much every day.
