"Good things happen when you meet strangers." --Yo-Yo Ma
A Missed Flight & A Connection Found
On a plane bound for O'Hare International Airport, Elsie Clark felt weak, scared and utterly alone -- until she spotted a pair of shiny leather shoes across the aisle. What happened to the 79-year-old Canadian over the next 12 hours-- being embraced by a good Samaritan, escorted through O'Hare in a wheelchair and welcomed to a swanky high-rise for dinner overlooking Lake Michigan-- saved her from a traumatic stranding in Chicago. It also proved that, even in tough times, people can surprise each other with kindness.
