Thank You Boys.
Well we could not see through the
thickness of the fog on last Wednes
day, and on this account, we got into
a ditch on the detour, which we of
ourselves were not able to extricate
ourselves. Along came Ralph Pears
ley with his truck, and hitched on
and pulled us out. When we went
into the ditch, we only saw one light
coming up the road, but in ten min
utes there were a hundred willing
hands ready and active to get our
car out of the ditch. You cannot say
that the neighborliness has been lost,
for they were all there and hustling
to get our car out and ready to pro
ceed on our way home. Thanks gen
tlemen, we are hoping we may never
have an opportunity to pay you back,
but we will try and pass it along to
some one who may need the help.
Thank you all again, and this in
cludes all. for we cannot number
them all. for in the dark we do not
know you all.
