Dear Editor,
In this busy hectic world there are still good Samaritans. Who knew?
I was shopping at Stong's and accidentally left my purse with my cell phone and credit cards in the bottom basket of my grocery cart. Of course, not to learn my mistake until I arrived home.
I called the store, they searched to no avail.
After more searches of my car, I phoned my cell and it was answered. I identified myself and the man replied that he was on my fire lane looking for me.
Sure enough, there they were: Two young men “on an excursion”, they said.
One jumped out of their truck and handed over the purse complete with all the “lost” contents.
They said that once they discovered the purse in the cart at Stongs, they decided to go on an adventure and return it. They had no idea where to find my house and apparently had fun looking for it.
I asked for their names and all they said was “we are Dave and Brian.” Then they drove away.
I write this letter to the Editor because I am so impressed that two young men would take the time and initiative to return my purse, cell, and credit cards all intact, and with such a wonderful attitude.
Whoever you are Dave and Brian, I hope you see this letter and understand what your thoughtfulness means.
You are both fine spirited Samaritans!! Thank you from the tips of my socks!!
