IRENE Sometimes people can be very nice, and it helps to make up for the other kind.
My son is a cancer specialist and works in a small city where there are a lot of German people. He speaks the language pretty well, and some of them appreciate discussing their problems in their native language. As a result, some of the elderly ladies try to give him little gifts, since they know he's not married, it's often some German coffee cake or home-made goodies. One lady crocheted a lovely "doily" type of thing with his name on it, then had it framed for him.
A while back one lady mentioned that she used to live in NY, and said she missed a certain product that's not available out there. Jim asked me if I could find it and send it to him for her. I actually got a lovely letter from the lady, thanking me and saying what a wonderful doctor he is. (Of course I knew that already, but it's nice to hear).
