Charlotte won't tell you this, but she spends significant hours each and
every week, and a significant chunk of her own money, feeding people who
are beyond desperate. She puts her money where her mouth is. I'm proud
to be her neighbor, and awed by the amount of work she does for no
benefit to herself. If she felt high and mighty, and she doesn't, she
would *deserve* to feel that way, because she's a true gem of a person.
