What a fantastic group of guys (well, except one, Johnny O was convicted this year of felony grand larceny for stealing more than $15,000 from Rescue Ink - such a shame.)! This was a fast read, that was funny, heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. I know this will be one worthy non-profit I will be donating to this year!
Quotes: "The biggest problem...is how disconnected we are as a society... 'We are so willing to rat and tattle anonymously, because we can hide behind computers and cell phones. Where is the compassion that our grandparents had?'"
"Think what you will of them, these guys are proof that a fresh start is possible for anyone, that redemption is attainable. Even if you have a rap sheet, even if you've got a past that needs a fair share of redacting before its' ready for prime time, you can re-create yourself."
