Letter to the Editor: Neighborly Kindness
By |
Heads Up! There is a Knight in Shining Armor in the City of Central! Well, maybe the "armor" was more in the line of plaid shorts, and the "shine" came from his beautiful smile.
This afternoon, 3/13, I had a flat while traveling Hooper Road in front of Our Place Restaurant. I sat in my vehicle on the side of the road for a few minutes, fearing for my life, as motorists sped by. I decided it would be safer off the side of the highway, so I limped along to the nearest business. A young man (who lived near) viewed my auto's impaired gait, jumped into his auto, followed me into the business, and changed my flat tire. We engaged in pleasant conversation while he worked quickly & skillfully. I learned that he loves to work on race cars, drives a KIA, and has a two yr. old. What I forgot to find out was his name!
Anyway, Chivalry is NOT dead! Kudos to the young man who rescued this old woman. Because of his random act of kindness, I drove away with a smile….warmed by the "neighborly" kindness offered by a resident of our little City of Central….
