George Arvanitis never trashed a letter nor a holiday greeting card.
He might not remember the senders, but George, 87, kept boxes filled with them â a noticeable state of affairs whenever he moved to a new residence.
His daughter, Elaine Kluesner, handled the packing.
âDad, what is all this stuff?â she asked him. âWho is this person?â
âI donât know,â George said.
âThen, why are you holding onto the card?â
âBecause when I die, I want you all to know that I was a good person and people cared about me.â
Born in 1933, George resided in the rural community of Koniditsa, Greece, where he shepherded livestock among the mountains that surrounded his village.
