Description
In 1971, a broke young man named Larry Stewart sat in a diner in Houston, Mississippi, over a breakfast he could not pay for. The owner, Ted Horn, bent down as if to pick something up and said, You must have dropped this. It was a twenty-dollar bill.
Stewart never forgot it. Starting in December 1979, he walked into laundromats, diners and bus stations and handed strangers cash, first fives and tens, later crisp hundred-dollar bills. Nobody knew his name for twenty-six years. He gave away about $1.3 million, and after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 he revealed himself as Kansas City's Secret Santa and trained others to carry on.
