Clark was having a day from hell.
Dean Germeyer's "shiny shoes" sparked a conversation between the Chicago businessman and 79-year-old Elsie Clark during a flight from Dallas to O'Hare. When Germeyer heard Clark was stranded at the airport, he helped her out.

Stranded at O’Hare without her luggage after airline blunders and bad weather made her miss two flights to her Winnipeg home, the frail Canadian grandmother faced an even grimmer night in an airport lounge.
That’s when a shiny-shoed Chicago businessman rode to her rescue like a Good Samaritan in a Frank Capra holiday movie.
Dean Germeyer, 43, took Clark home to his wife, fed her, took her on a guided tour of the city, put her up in a classy downtown hotel and arranged for a car to take her to the airport in the morning.
“It devastated me that a human being could be so kind to a stranger,” a grateful Clark said Tuesday. “It makes me bawl just thinking about it.”
