Instead of ignoring what he perceived to be a hazardous situation, young Sandy placed an urgent call into SRP. The community was never in danger, but SRP employees were impressed that the child had such a keen eye and concern.

As a result of his caring nature, SRP troubleshooters honored the seventh-grade student by making him an honorary SRP troubleshooter for the day in late February. In addition, SRP also selected Sandy to throw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs spring training game.
