INDIANAPOLIS — 13Sports director Dave Calabro has a knack for finding positive, uplifting stories, and he's making a return visit this week to IPS Lew Wallace School.
You may remember Dave's conversation last Thursday with a special third grader with big ambitions. Now, young Abdullah Muhammad is about to get a big surprise.
We asked Abdullah if he remembered us and why we were at his school last week.
"Yes, I do, to make us tell some good news," Muhammad said.
Muhammad had shared with us that he wanted to be a paleontologist when he grows up.
"A dinosaur scientist!" Muhammad said.
On Thursday, we introduced Muhammad to Pamela Stevens, who had seen last week's Good News segment.
"I was so taken by your interview with Dave that I knew that you deserved this," she said, gift bag in hand. "And you were the only person in the world that I would give it to."
Muhammad was pretty excited as he unwrapped the mystery item.
"Ooh, wait," he said. "Is this my very own fossil?"
"That is a fossil," Stevens told him. "Ammonite."
"How old is it?" Dave inquired.
"190 million years old," Muhammad replied.
Muhammad thanked Stevens for the remarkable gift and gave her a big hug.
And as he headed back to class, Muhammad paused to proudly show his prize to everyone in the hallway.
"I got a new fossil!" he said.
