Why I donated a public school building in honor of Mom

As a grade school child, I once uttered words that shocked my widowed mother. I jokingly declared, with the innocence of youth, that I would someday rob 100 banks just to give her all the money she deserved. Of course, she frowned at this and gently chided me that it wasn’t the right thing to think or say. I quickly told her it was just a joke.
