Score is tied and goalie lines up for the face off. He takes the I-pod across center ice, fakes out the defensemen and after a second look winds up and slaps the I-pod right into the hands of an autistic child. Thats right folks Goalie provided the young autistic boy with an I-pod. Hats off to him. Let's all pound our sticks on the ice for a job well done. Here is the response from the woman who made the request in the name of another family.
Ok so now that I have stopped crying with joy (ok wait not done yet....) Ok, all I can say is that you and the owner are angels!!!!! Your kindness and generosity have no limits. I am forwarding this email also to Kat and Mike Sanseri (the parents of the young boy) I am also including their address since I think it would be safer to mail the item directly to them. (ok wait a minute tears of joy again) Please pass on my deepest and sincerest thanks to the owner and know that you are both in my thought and prayers for life!!!!
Merry Merry Christmas

I imagine he may throw in a tootsie pop with it!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, I must say that I'm long time lurker and a first time poster, but this post has brought me straight out of the woodwork. I would love the opportunity to make the trek from ROC out and it would give me a good opportunity to use a few of the vouchers I have that are set to expire soon!
Captain Denny, it is pilots like yourself that make flying fun for us newcomers to the BIZ travel world. Thanks for being a great example to the rest of the company and I look forward to seeing you on a flight (or in PDX) in the near future!
