Dear Editor: The parents should be proud of the boy who collects blankets and newspapers for local shelters. (“Shawn Goodner: One Cool Kid,” The Downey Patriot, 6/19/14) What a nice young man.

Rather than bother him to pick up those items from my house, I found many quilts and blankets that I will drop off.

I also started saving newspapers, and hope others do the same.
