From GaryO , Tullahoma Downtown Lions- TN12S
Last weekend as I left our Tennessee Lions State Convention in downtown Chattanooga, I had to stop for a gas fill-up. Just as I was about to leave, a young , but large man approached me... slightly temided. But by the way he was dressed and by the location of where I stopped, I was immediately on guard.
I must admit, I made an immediate ""judgement" based on his clothes and his physicality. But since he walked right up to me, I had no choice but to respond face-to-face within inches.
He said " I see your license plate..... you're a Lion ?".
I said "Yes"
He stuck out his hand to shake mine and said " You Lions have helped my family and I just wanted to say Thank You"
I barely got the words " Thank you" out.... As I left , I felt ashamed of my initial thoughts as he approached.. But it was tempered by the great pride I felt in being a Lion.
