Good Deed

For 15 years, Regina Jennings mopped floors and dusted classrooms at West Virginia University, earning a US$10,000 salary as a custodian at the creative arts, law, and engineering buildings. "I worked day shifts so I had the chance to really get to know some folks," said Jennings, now 75. "They treated me extremely well through the years." Now she's returning the favor, donating her life savings -- $93,000 -- to the law school.
