    A thank you to good Samaritans

    On Wednesday, July 7, my Ford Tempo had a sudden death at 3:30 p.m. at the left-turn lane at De Anza and Rodrigues. With me was an 83-year-old lady who has Parkinson's and requires a walker. Many good Samaritans came to my aid, and though I don't know their names, I wish to publicly thank them. One gentleman dashed into the Wells Fargo Bank and called AAA, telling them to put a rush on it. Another one held back the two oncoming lanes of traffic so that I could get my passenger and her walker out of the car and safely across the street.

    The first gentleman stayed with my friend and watched for the tow truck while I went into the bank to call home. Wells Fargo employees generously allowed usage of their phone. One customer offered a ride to my friend and I. These people were all wonderful, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. They more than made up for the many who impatiently tooted their horns, even though my flashers were operating.
