After the 911 Call, LM Cop’s Gesture Goes Way Beyond The Call Of Duty

After the 911 Call, LM Cop’s Gesture Goes Way Beyond The Call Of Duty

If you’ve already had your fill of feel-good stories today, then you can skip this. Otherwise read on.

Maggie Corrado told CBS-3 on Wednesday (February 3) that she called 911 the day before, because her 4-year-old daughter Mason said she wasn’t feeling well, and had “such a far-off look.”

As CBS-3 reported

Multiple Lower Merion officers showed up at her home, but one officer left a lasting impression on the family.

“I said to him thank you, just through my hysterics. He just looked at me and he said ‘I have five daughters,’ and I just knew with him saying that, that it meant I understand,” Corrado said.

But the officer’s work didn’t stop there. Ultimately, Mason was transported to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where doctors say the 4-year-old will be fine.

Later that afternoon, Corrado was in for another surprise, but this one was a lot more pleasant than the one she had experienced earlier in the day.

Mike Aluise, one of the officers who was team that responded to the 911 call, came back to the house. And as Corrado told CBS-3, “He brought over a gift bag of different unicorn things — a unicorn stuffed animal, a unicorn bathrobe and some candy.” Corrado added, “Having a stranger do something like that really just shows that there is this kindness out there that we forget sometimes.”

Family Learning To Luge

Want to Try Luge? From Lower Merion, It Starts With a Drive to Lake Placid

I was watching the Luge on NBC over the weekend. I thought it was boring, especially when juxtaposed against the more dramatic events, like curling.  The color commentator kept explaining how each “slider” was doing something slightly better or worse than the others, but to my untrained eye, they all looked the same: feet first, […]

These Garments Have Been Politically Maligned

Most non-Arabs who wear the keffiyeh do not intend it to be Anti-Semitic in any way. They wear it as an expression of sympathy for Palestinian civilians, support for human rights, concern about war, or identification with a broader cause of national identity and self-determination. In their minds, it is directed toward Palestinians, not against […]

What Does My Fountain Pen Have In Common With The Former Lord & Taylor In Bala Cynwyd?

Both come out of the work of Raymond Loewy and his design firm. Raymond Loewy (1893–1986) helped define what modern America looked like in the mid-20th century. Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]

January 16-18: The Philly Pen Show — A Delightfully Analog Experience

f you’re looking for a break from screens, alerts, and endless scrolling, the Philly Pen Show might be the cure—at least temporarily. It’s an unapologetically analog event: pens, paper, ink, and the people who still care deeply about them. Whether you’re a serious collector, someone who misses the feel of writing by hand, or just […]
