February 19 - Courtesy Plus

There was standing room only when Lyle and I boarded the trolley bus to Ala Moana Mall. I was groping for a handhold before the bus started moving when the driver left his seat and approached the nearest seated male passenger.  He tapped the man on the shoulder and announced, "Excuse me sir, but this lady is blind and she needs this seat."

I was both grateful and embarrassed. The passenger leapt from his seat and I sat down. To give the passenger credit, I don't think he had noticed my cane.

Anyway, the incident was small but left me feeling pretty good about people.  Courtesy is alive and well in Waikiki.
