But thankfully the response he has received from the public has restored his faith in human- ity and the lights continue to dazzle passers-by. Just after the article appeared, a local pen- sioner dropped $10 into the Courier ofﬁ ce to start a fund, then a resident dropped lights off to the Fyfe home and a local reader contacted Solid Gold baby FM radio station (which resulted in an interview baby on air and $200 to buy more lights). Mr Fyfe has brought some new lights - but not with the money given to him. “I decided there were others that needed it photographsphotographs more at this time of the year - so I’ve donated the donated money to a children’s charity.
