94-year-old puts in pool for neighborhood kids


MORRIS, Minn. – Peace and quiet seem like a good thing, until you’ve had too much. Keith Davison got his fill in the months that followed the death of his wife Evy.

“You just can’t imagine what it's like,” says Davison, who lost his wife to cancer in 2016 after a marriage of 66 years. “You cry a lot. That's just the way it is, because she's not here.”

But it’s not quiet at Davison’s house anymore. Late this spring the 94-year-old retired judge installed in his backyard an in-ground pool – then filled it with the neighborhood kids.

What an absolutely beautiful story. It just goes to show you that that even at age 94 you can be going strong, helping others and spreading kindness.

Knowing how jaded our society has become, he'll probably be sued by some wayward parent looking to cash in. The path to hell is always paved with good intentions. Indeed.

What a special guy! Somebody will drown a hated business adversary and his family will sue and take the family inheritance, you just watch. The world we live in today just plain sucks for that. I wish for the 1960's I grew up in.
