The Social Climber Of Davenport Heights (2002) - Plot & Excerpts
It was a tradition in David’s family to spend that day volunteering at the interfaith meal for needy families that was held annually in the exposition hall downtown. I had participated, in my own way, for several years. Teddy’s family also did the citywide service dinner and the two of us typically spent the day watching coats in the volunteers room. Somebody had to keep those coats from walking off on the backs of the guests. But I figured coat watching was probably only a two. This year, however, I was determined to actually get out there among the less fortunate. That might even be considered a seven. So with benevolence in my heart, I visualized a day of shoveling congealed mashed potatoes onto metal trays for dirty, street-crazed homeless people. David and I went in separate cars. He had a tee-time at two o’clock and I didn’t want to be forced to leave just when the good work was getting started. He, however, was the first person I saw. He was standing in the doorway of the volunteers room, chatting with two other guys in polo shirts.
