Ben's Outing

John and Eloise Hastings met Ben and his family last Thanksgiving -- and this year, presented the young man, unable to walk and limited in his speech, with an amazing Pay It Forward gift.

"Ben is that he is a huge Minnesota Vikings fan," says John, a loan officer at Bell State Bank & Trust's Bell Mortgage division. One contact led to another, and eventually, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said, "Let's put Ben in a suite!" Ben even got to visit the sideline and meet Adrian Peterson.

"You could tell in his eyes, it was the greatest thing ever," says Eloise.
