Barb Duranti, of Donora, is recovering from double-knee replacement surgery and said she was surprised with the Gund bear gift. It was one of 144 donated by Aéropostale stores in Washington, Greensburg and Pittsburgh.

Brittany Fagioletti, of Belle Vernon, assistant manager of the Washington Tanger Outlets Aéropostale, delivers 144 Gund bears to her mom Kim, nurse manager. They will distribute the teddy bears to joint replacement patients at Monongahela Valley Hospital's Orthopedic Institute. Miss Fagioletti convinced her colleagues at two other Aéropostale stores to contribute to the holiday cheer. Many departments at MVH have special treats and traditions to lighten a holiday stay. |
