Doug Eaton wanted to celebrate his birthday on June 11 in a big way, so he turned to his friends for ideas -- ended up marking the day with random acts of kindness, including handing out free money to people passing by.

"I asked a bunch of my friends on Facebook what should I do on my 65th and I got a whole long list of stuff," he told KFOR-TV. "And one of my friends said, 'Why don't you do 65 random acts of kindness?'"

So that's exactly what he did, spending 65 minutes standing on the corner of NW 39th Street and May Avenue in Oklahoma City, handing out $5 bills to people who passed by. He told his Facebook friends that he handed out more than $375, but the response -- and the amount of good cheer he shared -- was priceless.

My wife and I work with this guy at Kimray. He's a class act. Great guy.

My question is: "Why is the tag 'Danny Tanner smells'?"

I missed him by a block. I was at 36th and May going home from a doctor's appt. Good for him!! Better than the gal on the street corner in her underwear wanting money for a boob job ...

I've known Doug for several years, he is an incredible man, taught three of his grandkids in school. His entire family is a reflection of him.
