LSU Fiji chapter pays off former house cook's mortgage

https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_ro...6bca995b9.html

Jessie Hamilton had been working 2 jobs or more since she was 14. This included 14 years as a cook at the Fiji house at LSU. She bought a house and took out a 30-year mortgage at age 60 and planned to keep working until the mortgage was paid off. A brother who remembered her from his collegiate days coordinated donations from 90 brothers, and presented her with a check on her 74th birthday. She can now pay off her mortgage and retire. There's even some money left over for her to spend on herself.

Good job, gentlemen!
