A special thanks to Woodbrook Elementary School’s custodial staff member Gordon Carter.

My son left his new baseball glove on the playground during spring break. One week later, and after the lost and found had been emptied, I met Gordon.

This happy, jovial man remembered the glove in detail and believed he set it aside. Ten minutes later, he came out to the playground with an ear-to-ear smile, glove in hand.

The found glove brought such relief to my son. I was touched by Gordon’s willingness to help, his friendliness and wonderful demeanor. Albemarle county should be proud to know it has such a wonderful employee, who really went the extra mile.
