I suppose most of us don't need any hard evidence to tell us that Correy is a good guy. He would go to the ends of the Earth to help out a friend or family member or even total stranger. But I ran into some concrete evidence recently that made me smile.
I picked up Correy's copy of (arguably) his favorite book, one that helped identify and fuel his life goal of joining the National Park Service's underwater archaeology team... Submerged. Buried within the well-worn, water-stained pages of this book was an improvised bookmark - a old Burger King receipt. It is from early July of an unknown year, drawn from Burger King store #1650, drive thru. Looking at the receipt I noticed an awful lot of food listed, more than any one man (even my brother) could eat. This voluminous receipt was the result of Correy apparently paid for the food for everyone in the car, which appears to be either two or three people (depending on how hungry they were). But that's Correy, man, generous and kind, even when he didn't have a lot of spare dough to go around.
So nothing groundbreaking, but something that made me chuckle and reminded me of what a good guy my brother is.

not to mention the cash i have borrowed from the rich lad over the years it always went without question or worry.
So Correy FINALLY got around to spending the money he was given from 8th grade graduation, huh? Very sweet!
I remember him talking about that book a lot during the summer of 2007. And it's quite possible that the dinner was for me, Trish, and Sean :)
