Re: Saints owner Gayle Benson quietly pays off hundreds of Walmart layaway orders

When Gayle Benson married Tom, she changed him from a petty car dealership owner into the highest example of class and civic responsibility.

They donated loads to charities.
They donated loads to Tulane to build their stadium "Tom Benson Stadium"
They donated loads to the NFL hall of fame where Canton is now called "Tom Benson Field"
If you drive around the City of New Orleans and look at school yards, some say "Tom Benson Playground" or "Benson Court" (basketball court).

None of those were just to honor Tom Benson, it's because he was wealthy and Gayle showed him that he could never take that wealth with him.
Gayle and Tom became the example of class in ownership for NFL owners. They raised the bar, and some owners resented that.
Tom grew into a person with the highest ideals of American capitalism and sportsmanship.

Now Gayle Benson continues that legacy.
This woman has class. She's modest, smart, and the ultimate ambassador for New Orleans and the U.S.
GOD BLESS HER!!
