When 95-year-old Dottie Schneider recently vacationed in Orange Beach, Florida she was welcomed with open lifeguard arms. Every morning, members of the Orange Beach Surf Rescue team brought Ms. Dottie, who was unable to walk through the sand on her own, down to the water to get some sun and dip her toes into the sand. Yippee! to Dottie and these generous lifeguards!

Editor's Note: Every week, The Sunday Paper's team of journalists sift through the news to find what Rises Above the Noise, makes sense of what's happening in the world, and provides hope for your week to come. While we do our best to provide our own informative summary of each piece, some publications require their own subscriptions beyond our control.
