KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Secret Santa II hit the streets Tuesday in a long-standing Kansas City tradition of handing out $100 bills — sometimes several at a time — to unsuspecting strangers in thrift stores, food pantries and shelters.
Some people gasped in surprise. Some wanted to know if the $100 bill the tall man in the red cap offered was fake. Others wept.
Secret Santa II has seen a lot of reactions since taking over where his mentor, Kansas City's original Secret Santa, Larry Stewart, left off when he died in 2007 at age 58. Like Stewart, who gave away more than $1 million to strangers each December in mostly $100 bills, this Secret Santa prefers to stay anonymous.

Why doesn't Gordy do that here in Salisbury - since everyone buys his gas he could give back to the community in this way.
No one around here has any money. Just look around at all the rundown houses. Random acts of kindness dont happen around here, everyone has too much of an agenda to push.
Well, I'e never seen anything of this magnitude happen but "They" do happen----probably just not
published for all to see. I've had
a very kind deed done for me & when
ever I am able---- try to pass one on
to others less fortunate.
Let's all make an effort to reach out
& help others. There's nothing like
the feeling you get from doing so----
and it makes one wonder--- who is really on the "receiving end." EW
