Albert Lexie has shined shoes for people at Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital since 1981. (--They don't say how old Albert is . . . but he looks like he's in his 70s.)
--He charges five dollars for a shine . . . but most people give him six or seven. Some of the doctors who are regular customers give him a Christmas bonus . . . sometimes as much as $50.
--But for the last 32 years, Albert hasn't kept a single tip or bonus. He donates them ALL back to the hospital's Free Care Fund . . . which helps parents of sick kids who can't afford to pay for their treatment.
--This week, Albert went over the $200,000 mark in donations. That means that he's donated more than one THIRD of his lifetime earnings to the hospital.
