Jack Gies
* “Oscar Night Heroics and a Happy Ending,” March 26.
Jack Gies is a hero because he saved a couple from a fire. . . .
A hero because he tried to put out the fire with a garden hose to save the couple’s car. . . .
A hero because even after all that, he still felt enough compassion to go back and give the couple his memento from the Oscar show, orchids. . . .
A hero because he spotted the fire only by driving slowly through the quiet streets so as not to hit crossing opossums who venture out late at night.
If we do ever plan to clone human beings, get this man’s DNA quick!
