Sneakers and smiles

Kegan Strange left no doubt he loved the new Coach shoes he tried on Thursday at the Lola and Duane Hagadone Boys and Girls Club of Kootenai County in Coeur d’Alene. “Really good,” Kegan said as he held the black and blue sneakers in his arms. “Ten of 10. I’ve been needing shoes. I’m very grateful for them.” Which brought a big smile to Rita Case. “I’m so glad,” she said. “It’s so important you get shoes that fit.” Case, president and CEO of Rick Case Automotive Group, funded the giveaway of about 450 pairs of shoes and 900 pairs of socks at the nonprofit club on 15th Street.
