Default Nice hobby story (for a change)

Left the White Plains show around noon. As I was leaving I walked into the middle of a really nice scene. Some guy walking in gave a full shoe box full of 80s and 90s cards to some boy around 15 who was leaving with his father. I sort of think the father and son thought they might be being scammed somehow, as they seems a little leery of the whole thing. But the guy said "this is what I like to do" and that he gives a lot of cards to younger people at shows, and that he is a dealer but didn't set up for this show. How cool is that? Even more stunning is that the guy giving the kid the cards was also maneuvering an older person in a wheel chair at the same time. I realize that this was just a totally random act of someone doing a nice gesture and I shook his hand and thanked him. Very nice.

(I didn't get his name, but in case anyone might know him he's a African American guy, on the thin side, prob. in his 50s. Reminded me very quickly of Oil Can Boyd.)
