Another reason to keep your glasses with you
Marsha Bux is 54 and wears contact lenses. But this isn’t about her; it’s about her late mother, Margaret Hill.
“My mom always had pairs of reading glasses with her,” says Mrs. Bux, who lives in Plano.
But one day, when she went into Wal-Mart to buy dog food, she realized she had left them in her car. Rather than go back, she asked a clerk to help her find the only flavor her dog would eat.
“She explained the situation to him, but apparently was not very convincing,” Mrs. Bux says about her mother, who died three years ago. “After helping her, he ‘showed’ her how to sound out the letters on the can. He told her if she learned to read, a whole new world would open up for her. She thanked him profusely and promised to do her best!”
