“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.” - Arthur Carlson, General Manager WKRP

That was my first thought as well.

Will always be a never forgotten statement.

An absolute classic!

… but even poor Arthur wouldn’t have thought that FROZEN turkeys could fly. Kudos to Ms. Sanderlin for her selfless act of holiday charity. What a refreshing story to read on Black Friday when the airwaves are full of 120db exhortations to spend money on all manner of crap in the name of spreading holiday cheer, but mainly boosting profits into the black.

I’d gladly send her a contribution for a couple of Christmas birds right now, if there were any sort of mechanism to do so. Please stay on top of this story Amelia, and let us know if someone sets up a GoFundMe or just a PayPal account to which we could contribute.
