This doesn't surprise me. I first met Rollie almost 25 years ago when I was a crazy freshman, and he's always been a true gentleman. And you know the doc, when doing the surgery, was like: "WTF, this blood is green!"

What an inspirational act by Rollie.  It is humbling in its magnanimity.  A neighbor of  mine has done something similar so now I have at least two people to admire.

I have met and had the pleasure of meeting a lot of genuine, kind heart, people, and Rollie is at the top of that list.
