Lost band mom is rescued on the Gene Snyder You never know who will be there to help you but they are probably from Adair County! Damsel in confusion is rescued by surprising Good Samaritan By Shamarie Claiborne Life never ceases to amaze me. This past weekend a large number of Adair citizens traveled to Eastern High School in Louisville for the Band Contest. I was among those numbers. Now, anyone who knows me well can testify to the fact that I am a resourceful individual and that I do not always follow the pack. Yet, I should have learned in my 40 years on this planet that following the pack is not always a bad thing, especially when you don't know where you are going. I forgot that Saturday. Low and behold I looked up and could find no sign of the Adair Convoy. Didn't know what exit to take I was on Gene Snyder Parkway going east with no Idea what exit to take. So, being the resourceful human I am, I pulled off the road and called Tammy (Coffey) to look on the internet and get directions for me. There I am sitting on the side of Parkway with three little boys with me (of course they thought the situation to be humorous) when I see in the distance an old pick-up truck pull off the side of the road and start backing towards my location. Generally, this would not bother me if I were in Columbia, because many of my best friends drive old pick-up's but in Louisville I must admit I was a little worried. I did the mom thing and locked all the doors and rolled the windows up except on my side of the van and waited, of course I was not too worried, one I had Tammy on phone, and two I tend to believe most people are good at heart. When the truck had finally made its way back to me, the door slowly opened, due to the heavy traffic and a gentleman got out. When he turned to walk towards me, I thought "I know that guy". Then it hit me, of course I knew the guy we went to school together. It was none other than Stacie Pendleton. Super hero saw the "Adair County" on the side of the van I was so amazed I about fell over. He came up and when he recognized me we both laughed. Stacie said "I saw the Adair County on the Van" (the Van was decorated for the contest) and thought I could help!" We laughed, I hung up with Tammy and talked to Stacie for a few moments, he of course gave me perfect directions to Eastern High School and I introduced him to all the boys and told him who they belonged to. We had a nice little reunion on the side of Gene Snyder. I must say, I am sure I would have found my way, but Stacie made it a lot easier and gave me a great story to tell. I would like to say thank you to him for taking the time out of his day to help me. Yet, He had no idea "who" exactly was in the van but he did know they were from his hometown. That is the Stacie I remember funny and helpful, some things never change. Stacie was born here, raised here, and will always be from here. Farm truck was his grandfather's; now a part of his Jefferson farming operation By the way, the old pick-up was his grandfather's and Stacie uses on his little farm up in the city now. I will close by saying there is one thing about living in Adair County, we may have our problems but no matter what, we take care of our own! Thanks again to Stacie! And remember, you never know when you will see someone from Adair County when out in this big scary world, but it is comforting to know there are people out there who have your back!
