Dear Editor,

On Sunday, March 16 in the evening, my wife and I, while on our way out for supper, had a flat tire on Highway 8 between Merritt and Lower Nicola. While fumbling around trying to get my spare tire down, a young fellow passed and turned around and came back to assist us. Whether it was pure generosity motivated by our grey hair, we’ll never know, but he changed our tire and wished us well and was on his way after a day of snowmobiling in the high country. We offered money and he refused, saying people should want to help others out.

We have lived in Lower Nic for going on seven years and found the people down to earth and kind. We love it here.

To the young man who came to our aid, thanks again. We know the world is in good hands with young people like you.

Stan and Gladys Stevens
