Good Samaritans A Christmas angel.
Alice Stewart, a political consultant from Little Rock also known for her radio talk show, will have a wonderful Christmas, thanks to the unlikely kindness of a stranger. Stewart recently endured a long, trying, hard day of travel between New York City and Little Rock. She'd arrived weary in the late hours and agreed to take a traveling companion to his apartment. She didn't realize that in the process of opening the security gate to his complex, her entire world had fallen unobserved into the street. Her wallet containing substantial cash, cards and many contacts lay available to any passers-by as she drove away. Later at home, she went onto Facebook to find a message from first-year UA law student Shelly Shaw. Seems the 20-year-old Ms. Shaw had happened across Alice's wallet and taken it inside to try and hopefully seek Alice. But it wasn't until she received Shaw's message that Alice realized the very centerpiece of her organizational life was missing. "If Shelly hadn't been thoughtful enough to seek me out, I'd have had to start way back in Times Square and track my steps all the way home that day. Shelly's an angel. Her kindness and generosity saved me. I asked Shelly what made her search for Alice rather than keep the money and anything else of value when no one would have known. "I was raised in South Texas and taught what belongs to others is theirs, not mine. I'm just thankful I found her wallet. It really was her whole life in there.
