“People’s Voice Award”

A homeless man named Ted Williams in Columbus Ohio became a viral video sensation for his radio-quality voice, resulting in interviews and TV appearances. Of course, it’s easy to make your voice echo when you live in a tunnel.

Williams will soon be doing TV voice over and radio commercials, but to make him comfortable in studio, his scripts have to be hand-written on a piece of cardboard.

“Backpack Is Back”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-11-19-homeless19_ST_N.htm?csp=hf

An Arizona homeless man returned a backpack he found containing $3,300 in cash and a laptop computer at a light-rail station. For leaving a parcel at a rail station, the owner of the backpack is now being investigated by Arizona as a possible Hispanic.

The homeless man said that if he had kept the money, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. And there’s nothing worse than tossing and turning all night on a park bench.
