‘Caring community’

Dear Editor:

On Remembrance Day I did some shopping at Zehrs before attending the service at the cenotaph.

At checkout I mentioned to the cashier that it was very cold and windy outside and I had forgotten my hat and she said she would offer me one if she had one.

I then responded that for all the military had done for us, a little cold and wind should not stop me for attending and paying my respects.

As I was getting into my car a lady approached me and said she had heard in the store that I did not have a hat to wear to go the cenotaph and she offered me a cozy, warm set of ear muffs.

I thanked her and asked where I could return them and she told me to just keep them.

I am so thankful to be living in such a caring community.

Terry Spadafore,
Fergus
