Doctor brightens kid's heart with new mower
Lawrence cardiologist Dr. Roger Dreiling learned of Quinton Westphal, a 11 year old Lawrence boy who lost his first mower. After reading the story, Dreiling pledged to replace the stolen mower and help Quinton restart his budding lawn care business. The community offered donations and Quinton saved 250 dollars to buy a mower before it was stolen. Dreiling plans to accompany Quinton to pick out a new mower.
