WWII Pilot

Today's most interesting patron interaction was a request to help a gentleman place an online order to a seed catalog.  He was 92, a former pilot, legally blind, and his hearing aid was broken.  He did have his debit card with him.  I got the order placed and the old gent wanted to talk about the war.  Patrons were piling up at the reference desk and looking at me. Then a young college student came over and said she heard him talking and she wanted to say thanks for serving our country.  She ended up spending a half hour with him hearing his stories.  They both went away happy.
