inschoolisfindingarolemodelandafriendinWilson.Somestudentsevencallhim＂Grandpa＂.这位76岁的威尔森是一名退休工程师，最近八年来一直让大学生免费搭乘自己的车。从一开始答应帮助这些年轻人至今，威尔森开车行驶里程数高达64，000英里。在往返学校的途中，他跟孩子们一聊起来就没完没了，他幽默诙谐的谈吐总给孩子们带来无尽的享受。他曾经接送过的学生现在都陆续走上工作岗位，有的做了医生，有的走上了讲台，还有的成为了工程师，但是，他们知道，大学生涯赋予他们赖以生存的职业，而他们在威尔森的以身示范和耳濡目染中学会了为人之道与为友之道。难怪有的学生叫他“Grandpa”。TinaStern

蒂娜.斯特恩大学四年始终享受着威尔森免费车接车送的待遇，而且她觉得更有意义的还是路上。“不是一上车就没事了；你甭想把耳机一戴，尴尬地往车上一坐，然后就一言不发。”斯特恩说道，“他会问你问题，实际上他是想把答案背下来，等你下次再坐他的车，他还要跟你核对。”Wilsonfirstworkedasadriverthroughastudent-supportprogramofthenon-profitorganization,OnPointforCollege.Althoughtheprogrammeasksthemembersonlytodrivestudentstoandfromtheirclasses,Wilsonoften
