The city of North Charleston posted the delivery of the cards and his reaction on its Facebook page.
“I’ll be counting them till my next birthday!” he joked when he learned of the number of cards he received.
He said he’s had so many birthdays that he expected his 100th to be “just another birthday.”
“Everybody else must have thought different,” he said. “I was so surprised when everything erupted like it did.”
Keller’s 100th birthday was celebrated on Christmas Day.
Keller wanted birthday cards from anyone who would send them, and that was what he got. He said at last count he has received 331 of them, plus 40 more on Christmas Eve.
Now, the city said he’s received over 1,200 !
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
