From CBS Evening News:

Gene McGehee couldn’t believe his good fortune. When the 91-year-old stepped outside his house in Vidalia, Louisiana, this week, he discovered a bunch of kids from the day care across the street who were willing and wanting to include him in their fun.

McGehee also met the day care teacher, Megan Nunez, and asked her for her name. “Every day I cross the street and we meet again,” Megan said.
