A Bank, A Robber, A Pie

The National section of the New York Times reported today that a small bank in Carleton , Nebraska was robbed this month for the first time in half a century . . .

Within nine minutes the sheriff's deputy arrived. Soon came the first
of many calls of concern and support, a few of which, a smiling Mr. Van Cleef
remembers, went like this: "Hear you've been robbed. Can I bring you
a pie?"

Mmmm. Made me smile too.
