Grateful for help given by stranger | Letter

We would like to send our thanks to Norm at the corner of State Highway 20 and Arnold Street.

Editor,

We would like to send our thanks to Norm at the corner of State Highway 20 and Arnold Street.

On Sept. 11, 2014, Norm came to our rescue. The passenger-side rear slide on our motorhome decided to start sliding out as we were driving along Highway 20.

Talk about stress. The only place we could see to pull over was a bus stop marked, “no parking.”

We pulled over, traffic flying past us. More stress.

A few minutes later, a pickup truck pulled in front of us. Little did we know it at that time, but it was a modern-day knight in shining armor named Norm.

Pretty soon, between Robin and Norm, our slide was temporarily back in place and Norm said to follow him back to his home, where he had wood and saws and everything we needed to make it secure to travel home.

We were able to head up to the border and back to our home, where we will get our motorhome permanently repaired and back in working order.

Norm didn’t have to stop to help two total strangers from another country, but he did.

We will never forget the kindness he showed us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
