'For a man that would never meet me, to give me basically a full ride to college, that's incredible. That doesn't happen,' says Kira Conrad of Dale Schroeder's incredible generosity
An Iowa carpenter is responsible for sending dozens of people to college. People he never had a chance to meet.
Shortly before his death in 2005, Schroeder told his attorney, Steve Nielsen, that he wanted to use his savings to help poor students in Iowa go to college. Over the past 14 years, Schroeder's money has sent 33 young Iowans to college. Last weekend, they gathered around his old lunch box to talk about a man they never met and how his generosity changed their lives."He wanted to help kids that were like him," Nielsen said,"that probably wouldn't have an opportunity to go to college but for his gift.
