Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam stopped in at a music store in Oahu, Hawaii and bought three guitars for the store’s music teacher to pass on to his students.

Later, the Coconut Grove Music teacher, Harry Koizumi asked his students to write a thank you note and Vedder wrote each of them personal notes back. Koizumi posted photos on Facebook and called it “a Christmas they will never forget.”
