COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Alone at an Outback Steakhouse dinner table on a Saturday night, Miss Dorothy quietly nibbled on her food. She didn’t say a word to anyone except when her waitress came around.
Though she was using an oxygen tank, she made every effort to be unnoticed. With her walker folded underneath her table, she kept to herself the entire night — even while the nearby table full of firefighters from Massachusetts were enjoying the drinks and food that she’d eventually pay for.
The firefighters — who attended the 29th annual Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial during the day — were stunned. And flattered. After their waitress told them their dinner of at least $150 was free, they asked, “By who and why?” They found out later that it was Miss Dorothy. Apparently, she told their waitress to not say a word about her picking up their tab until after she left the restaurant with her walker in hand.
