AND......there was a young girl our DD's age with a blown tire, far from home, no cell phone a hardly any money. He pulled over, gave the girl his cell, said "call your dad while I change your tire" then gave her his last 20 bucks (we had little money at the time) for her to get home on. Her dad called the office some time later to tell them what a nice guy they had working for them

This reminds me of a time my DH stopped to help a young gal change a tire. She had stopped way to close to the road & was trying to figure out what to do. He had her move the car a little, as the tire was blown & there wasn't going to be any salvagable tire. As he was working on the car, she asked why he had stopped. He told her he had a daughter of his own & hoped that if she ever needed help, someone would stop to help her. She told him that she wished he was her father.


A few months later a woman showed up at our door looking for my husband. It turned out she was the mother of this girl and that the mother & my husband had gone to school together in a different town than what we live in.
