Here's the story about modern day Paladin Plumbers:
"Everyone wants to see the city of Flint swim rather than sink -- including plumbers."
"More than 300 union plumbers from all over Michigan flooded Flint to install free filters for residents, this past weekend."
"According to ABC12, not all the faucets in Flint can fit a filter, which each resident of the city desperately needs in order to get rid of lead in their drinking water. Some of the faucets are older and oddly shaped, making the installation of a filter nearly impossible."
"Local plumbers with United Association Local 370 in Flint have been going door-to-door making sure that faucets are filter ready since October, reports Michigan Radio. And last weekend, they got a boost from hundreds of union volunteers."

Remember Have Gun - Will Travel?
Richard Boone starred as Paladin in the late 50s TV series about "a gentleman gunfighter who travels around the Old West working as a mercenary gunfighter for people who hire him to solve their problems for them. Paladin may charge steep fees to clients who can afford to hire him, typically $1000 per job, but will provide his services for free to poor people who need his help." Paladin took his name from the foremost knight warriors in Charlemagne’s court. The people of Flint - and all the rest of us - need a Paladin, too. - RB
