Jeff Ballantine posted this on the NPBP face book page.

Heard one about a man that always sees a homeless man in his home town park and it turns out he is war hero. The homeless man knew the mans Dad and he knew him when he was a kid and knew the whole family history. Something about when an old man dies we lose a library.

Jeff says he thinks he heard it in Tamworth back about 2004.

Any ideas?
