Now everybody knows his story and real name.
Giving gifts is tradition during the Christmas Holiday's
The secret Santa for over 25 years anonymously roamed the streets of Kansas and elsewhere in December quietly giving people money, often several $100 dollar bills at a time. So far, he has dispensed more than a Million dollars. He has chosen people, in thrift stores diners, and even parking lots, if they seemed down on their luck, he would just reach out and say"here". This year, though, his identity has been revealed. Larry Stewart, 58 years old, has cancer and has given up his anomymity because, he says, a tabloid newspaper was going to reveal his name. He wants others to carry on the acts of random kindness he believes are so important. We're here, he bellieves, "to help other people out". His bittersweet life story embodies one kind of generosity that Christmas was once about but too often gets lost. In times gone by, the rich would go out of their way in this season to give to the poor. Stewart arrived at his idea, and his philosophy, through personal experience. He was a college dropout, briefly homeless and once considered robbery. But everytime he hit a low point, someone gave him, food and hope. That, he says, is why he has devoted his life to returning the favors after becoming wealthy from businesses in cable TV and long-distance phone service. Over the years, he has started a website, given to charities and traveled with "elves" such as late Negro Leagues icon Buck O'Neil. Larry Stewart is the true face of Christmas 2006.
