Clarence New York resident Brody Kaufman was in his auto on Monday April 21 when he received a text from his mother who informed him that a kayaker had fallen into a river in the Florida Keys. Brody who is a junior volunteer firefighter with the Harris Hill Fire Department took action to make an attempt to rescue the kayaker who fell into the river with the assistance of other persons to use a rope to secure the kayaker and get him to safety by the accident victim around 400 yards before first responders to the shore. The news media points out the ugly side of teenagers celebrating Spring Break. Thank goodness there are good people who save others in need. Link is wbkw.com/news/local/-new...

That is a big deed. I have some young colleagues who are in good company and exhibit good behavior. True, there are youngsters who are into bad habits. Yet we also have many who are into good habits and do such good actions as well. Thanks for sharing this positive news.

Televison and news reports do bring out the nasty side of Spring Break.

That kayaker was very lucky. Teenagers often get a bad rap but there are dozens of good ones around.
