| 2022-07-10 |
| [CBS] Dale Schroeder was a simple, humble man from Iowa, who ended up changing the lives of 33 people forever. Schroeder worked as a carpenter at the same company for 67 years. He grew up poor and had no wife or children of his own. His friend Steve Nielsen described Schroeder as a "blue collar, lunch pail kind of guy." "Went to work every day. Worked really hard. Was frugal. Like a lot of Iowans," Nielsen told CBS Des Moines affiliate KCCI-TV. |

| #7 From the article: Schroeder ended up paying for 33 strangers' college tuitions. The group, who has dubbed themselves "Dale's kids," got together earlier this month to honor the man who changed their lives. They're now doctors, teachers, therapists — and friends. There's just one thing Schroeder asked for in return. "All we ask is that you pay it forward," Nielsen said. "You can't pay it back, because Dale is gone, but you can remember him and you can emulate him." |

| #5 Given the state of colleges today I wonder if this qualifies as abuse? |

| #4 ^ Yes. The people who know better than you do what to do with the money you've earned are no doubt very unhappy. |
