RE: A crummy story - superficial harp content

["Jones, Dave" <Dave.Jones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Sam.  At least 90% of these are bogus.
I basically debunk internet hoax emails like these for a living and I
get tired of it.
Corporate mailboxes get filled with this junk, wasting space, time &
bandwidth.

Just because people like the sentiment doesn't make it true.
At least Sam's story was true & had harp content!

That was my point.  The story acted like it was uplifting but it wasn't.
What kind of teacher turns away a student because he is too old?  Then
despite his hard work and determination prays for the kid to not show up
anymore.  The boy was only 11.

Your right though I tend to get a bit too literal with these inspiration
stories.  But that fact that they are fake and all have similar styles
makes
me suspicious that there is some single author out there turning these
out
for fun.

So I wrote one for fun.  Mine's actually true though, I did play harp at
my
Dad's funeral and everyone except my Dad appreciated it.
