Eddie is a maintenance worker at Ruby Pier and today is his 83rd birthday. He is also a retired World War II veteran that was shot in the leg many years ago.

Eddie yelled at the crowd the stand back, but one little girl was still standing where the cart was about to drop so Eddie lunched for her. Then everything went black and he felt two little hands on his shoulders.
