Everyone is getting on the Christiana Lions' bandwagon writing about Jim Groff's trip to Joplin, Missouri.
The latest, Lancaster Online with this money quote from Leslie Reese who made the signature quilt Jim took with him:
"A signature quilt is very old. When you were moving on the Oregon Trail, your church would provide you with one. The congregation would make one with their signatures to remind you of them because you may never see them again. I had made this quilt two weeks beforehand when Jim came in. I said, 'I have the quilt for you.' It really just blossomed from there. This community and the communities around us are some of the most generous people I have ever met. No matter how hard it is, they did deep into their pockets and give."
