On a Positive Note: New York Man Serenades Hospital Staff After Life-Saving Intervention
Daily news headlines can often be jarring, overwhelming and leave people feeling a sense of hopelessness, but Cheddar News is looking to capture those feel good moments as well.
In this segment of On a Positive Note, Allen Gogarty, a Queens, New York man, used his musical talents to say thank you to hospital staff. Gogaraty suffered a heart attack but was saved -- not once, but twice. He felt the need to pay them back and after recovery, whipped out his guitar and took it back to Irish folk rock roots. "The gift of life has been handed back to me and its something that we take for granted, that I won't ever take for granted again," he said.
The mother of a 6-year-old who shot his teacher in Virginia pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of felony child neglect, seven months after her son used her handgun to critically wound the educator in a classroom full of students.
Ahead of National Roller Coaster Day on Wednesday, Alessandro Zamperla, president and CEO of Central Amusement International, spoke with Cheddar News about the park's history and recent expansion.
