CLT Featured on CBS Morning News
CLT and CBS News recently conspired to make a rising 6th grader’s dreams come true.
Quentin Hines, Jr. of Charlotte used to take his toy mower to the old Airport Overlook, watch the planes take off and land and dream about maintaining the fields at such a glorious place.
Now 11 years old, Quentin has a high-tech mower and his own lawn care company. He cuts his elderly neighbors’ grass for free.
We surprised Quentin and made him part of a CLT Field Maintenance crew for a morning. He said it was one of the best days of his young life.
