Cop With Big Heart Plans Christmas Aid for Children
Amarillo Patrolman Thomas Bush organized a dream of giving to poor children by placing a Christmas tree at 117 East Fourth Street.

Bush recalls his own frugal Christmas and urges locals to donate so no child wakes to a diminished belief in Santa Claus.
