Duck Becomes a Symbol of Hope for Anna....
Duck has much to be grateful for. President Martoni from CCAC's Boyce Campus has awarded Duck with a certificate for his successful completion of the epoch making "Duck Therapy Program". Duck has graduated with a perfect grade point average of 4.0.
While contemplating the next move after release from the Point State Park Prison in Pittsburgh, Duck has already been applying his education and training and providing therapy to a young girl from Dallas, Texas called "Anna".
Like many people in our area and around the world, Anna suffers from health problems. Those of you with lung problems know that even at 80 or 90 Lung Capacity, breathing is diminished and take away from a persons happiness.
When Anna found out about Duck, her eyes lit up and she became full of hope. She must have told her family she was in terrible need of Duck Therapy as her family took her seriously and all boarded a plane for Pittsburgh.
Anna's illness is rare and chronic and leaves her open to many infections according to the Friday October 18th article on page 2 of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. But, this did not deter her from coming to see the Duck.
As it turns out like me, Anna has a thing for ducks and started collecting little rubber ducks when she was five years old. She owns up to 200 of these bright and cheerful creatures. As stated in the article, "Who can frown and be sad when given a rubber ducky?"
As you can see Duck is helping Anna and others by lifting their spirits and filling them with cheerfulness. With joy and happiness Anna returns to Dallas with fond memories of Duck and the great fun she had with her family in our city of Pittsburgh.
While time is running out, feel free to say good-bye to Duck tonight and tomorrow. Duck has not divulged his future plans upon release, but father Duck is taking him back under his wings as they duck out of our fine city.
