As promised, today we handed over the donated weed whacker to Patrick Grant – the 93 year old who was badly beaten inside his own home a few weeks ago.
On Monday night, Superintendent Howell Gillett saw Grant on the news lamenting the loss of his weed whacker – which had been stolen when his house was
burglarized.
And so with assistance from business man Paul Guerra, they donated a new one to the senior citizen who cuts his own grass and keeps a spotless lawn.
Now, we'll be honest, it's a big unit – the kind that comes with a handlebar, and we did have doubts that the old man would be able to hold it up, let
alone trim his yard with it. But after some masterful adjusting of the strap, the old man left us with open jaws. Here's how we did it.
Mr. Grant chops his yard twice a month and of course we will be there to see him wield his brand new weed-whacker. In the meantime, he's sent the weed
whacker to be safely stored at another location until he needs it.
