On September 6th, myself, my wife and brother in law were travelling from Dawson Creek towards Prince George on our way home to Kamloops. We had been on a vacation visiting relations in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Approximately 175 km east of Prince George we had the misfortune of getting a flat tire. As we were unloading the rear of our SUV to facilitate the changing of our flat tire a van containing a man and his wife stopped to offer their assistance. Without hesitation the gentleman started the process of changing the flat tire. Our spare tire was low on air but to our surprise and delight the gentleman produced a small compressor and proceeded to inflate the tire. he tire change went very smoothly and during the time we spent together on the side of the highway we were reminded that we are surrounded by very caring and helpful people.
Without a doubt we were fortunate to have met and been helped by Prince George residents Kenny Tashoots and his wife Beverly. A big thank you to them not only for the help in getting us on our way but for reminding us that there are caring and helpful people in our communities despite all the negative things we hear and read.
