Generous Phoenicians Make Jimmy's Christmas Bright
Jimmy Scott, once near death and bound to a back brace, walked to his Christmas tree as gifts flowed from Tempe and Creighton School children, local businessmen, a Stephens College student, and an unnamed group of strangers. Carolers sang at his window, a jailer donated a stove and oil, a turkey arrived from a stranger, and a father of twin boys provided a bicycle for a peer, all repaying kindness from five years earlier.
