We still have good Samaritans in Adair County We still have good people around that are willing to stop and lend a helping hand. By Richard Raines Thursday night I went with my dad to take his "lady friend" (I'm not sure what the proper terms are for a 77 year old widow and a 79 year old widower) home after she had gone to church with him for revival services. Neither of them likes to drive at night, so I had gotten home from work, taken off my work clothes and slipped on a pair of shorts-- really wasn't expecting to be out in public. We got her delivered home, came back out Holmes Bend Road, and headed down 551 toward town. I don't like to turn left onto Highway 55 at any time, and try to avoid it if I can, so I intended on turning onto Pelly Lane to avoid that intersection. There was an oncoming truck and after waiting for him, I started left--only I was too far "down" the road and dived right off the end of a culvert. I got out and looked and the front of the car was hanging with the right side (including front wheel) in the air. Before I could get back to the driver's door, people were stopping to ask, "Are you ok"? "Is anyone hurt"? We were ok. In a matter of less than a minute, there were about four men stopped to help us. They decided we could push the car back up out of the ditch. I got my dad over in the driver's seat, and got myself down into the ditch to try to "lift" on the front of the car while they pushed. The car is an Impala, so not a small car. In a couple of minutes, the car was back up on the road sitting on four wheels, with the only thing being damaged being my pride. I thanked them, said "God Bless You" and they waited to see that we had started to move, then they were all on their ways. I didn't know any of the men, but certainly appreciated their help. It goes to show that we still have good people around that are willing to stop and lend a helping hand. This story was posted on 2019-10-05 09:17:50
