William Jensen

Good news in this city? No, not just good news--inspiring, heartwarming and uplifting news. When I looked at the Feb. 2 edition and saw the wonderful, miraculous (adjectives just don’t cut it, I’m afraid) photo of firefighter William Jensen standing with his arm around his wife Sue and a smiling Dr. A. Richard Grossman behind, I broke into tears of sheer joy. There is a God in heaven, because he responded to all of our prayers. Happy birthday, firefighter Jensen!

* I took the time to look up “hero.” The dictionary said, “legendary figure endowed with great strength or ability/an illustrious warrior/a man admired and emulated for his achievements and qualities.” Badly burned Jensen--by defying the odds--meets and exceeds these definitions.
