A friend summed it up best: "There are Alberts in many parts of the world whose work go unnoticed and unrecognized all the time."
How does this sound (as a book title): "To all the Angels I've met before"
or
"To all the unsung Alberts in the world..."
Okok, no more cheese for the benefit of the lactose intolerant :)
This morning, I called Albert to apprise him of his 15 minutes of fairly anonymous fame. He didn't know I was going to do it of course.
I didn't either, up until last week, when I felt the story had matured sufficiently. A lot of encounters reside and percolate indefinitely - sometimes for too long - in my mind as half-baked stories, before they're eventually fleshed out and published. Anymore dithering and this one would probably gotten buried under other abandoned because yours truly got her knickers in a bunch over yet another fresh encounter ...
Albert, on the off chance that you're reading this, I hope this made your day.

That just goes to show that good people are still around...unfortunately finding them is the hard part!
Hello there! I'm just another fan of your fortnightly appearing article.
I find your ability to pen down a lengthy article just to describe the speck of lustrous gold you've detected in a person, regardless of his/her background a rare gift that one has.
Not many appreciate the small yet gargantuan deeds that strangers do, what more to compose a beautifully woven piece on them! ;-)
Regards,
Raz
PS: I've linked your URL in my list of renowned people. Is it fine with you?
WP: Oh yes, everyday I live is a reaffirmation that good people are everywhere - you just have to open your eyes big-big and look hard!
