Many, many thanks are due to the 16-plus personnel who responded to an emergency call on Eastville Avenue late Thanksgiving afternoon. The time frame must certainly have taken place just as they were about to sit down to dinner.
The dedication of the men and women who frequently interrupt their own lives to help out others at a stressful time is truly amazing, and we are fortunate to live in such a caring community. Thank God no one was injured and the event itself was relatively minor compared to what could have been.
As donation time rolls around, keep in mind the selfless organizations and individuals, both paid and volunteer, who make this area one in which we all can feel safe and secure.
