Thankful for the one who stopped to help

To the wonderful young man in the PT Cruiser who stopped and helped my husband push my broken-down Volvo station wagon out of the left-turn lane just before Everett Mall Way on Dec. 11: You have my deep and heartfelt thanks. Out of the 30 or so cars who had to go around me and only offered an annoyed honk or a finger, you were the only one that bothered to stop to offer your aid and both my husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thanks also to Skip’s Towing for their quick response to my call for a tow. Their tow truck driver was friendly, helpful and courteous, and a credit to his employer.

It’s nice to know there are still good citizens in the world. Thank you!
