Former Sen. Kohl surprises BMO Harris Bradley Center workers with checks
MILWAUKEE —Employees of the BMO Harris Bradley Center say they are stunned at what they found in their mailboxes. It was a gift from former Milwaukee Bucks owner Herb Kohl that brought some of them to tears.
...
"Today, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation," Atkins read from the letter.
It was from Kohl to BMO Harris Bradley Center employees, thanking them for their good work.
"That's why I am pleased to provide you with a gesture of my appreciation," Kohl's letter said.
"Then I go, and I open it up, and I see $500," Atkins said. "I am not quick to shed tears. I sat there and shed tears for maybe five to 10 minutes because nobody just walks up gives you $500."
"Five hundred dollars, so I was very surprised. I was very surprised. You don't hear about the people doing that," security guard Markeish Stringer said.
