RaoulDuke Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 "I think everybody was surprised. But knowing Leonard, the type of person he is, I can believe him giving it away," said retiree William Perry, who spent 43 years at City National Bank of Florida, rising from janitor to vice president. Perry, 78, got $50,000, which he is using to help his son pay for law school. Great story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
