The story of a young Lincoln boy with autism and the neighbor who built him a school bus shelter will be featured on the "NBC Nightly News."
Lester Holt will devote his “Making a Difference†feature on Tuesday's evening news to 8-year-old A.C. Flodman and Pat Dugan, whose story appeared in the Lincoln Journal Star last week.
A film crew visited the southeast Lincoln neighborhood Friday to document the story of an ice fishing hut transformed into a shelter and the friendship of the man from Greeley and the second-grader.
When the Flodman family moved into the neighborhood five years ago, A.C. was nonverbal and the pair forged a silent friendship as they raced down the driveway, Dugan on his John Deere riding mower and A.C. on his Big Wheel. Dugan saw the need to keep his little buddy warm during the winter months as he waited for the school bus and transformed the ice fishing shelter with plywood and paint.
