Outside of Lindbergh Center Station, an elderly woman dressed in a red coat noticed a man sitting on the bench near her. He was struggling to tie his tie.

She turned to him and asked, “Do you know how to tie it properly?”

“No ma’am,” the young gentlemen replied.

The woman turns back around and taps her husband on the shoulder, “Come to this side and teach this young man how to tie his tie.”

Without hesitation, the woman’s husband proceeds to teach the young man how to properly tie a tie. He patiently gives him a step-by-step tutorial. Then, the young man repeated the steps back to the older gentleman in the gray beret.
