Youth not so bad

Manners? Many of the youth of today are wonderfully helpful and have excellent manners. In response to Doreen Neudorf's letter in Jan.

Manners? Many of the youth of today are wonderfully helpful and have excellent manners.

In response to Doreen Neudorf's letter in Jan. 20 Citizen, please don't assume because a few young people did not come to the help of the stuck woman that all young people are as uncaring.

That same day, I got stuck as I drove into the parking lot at the Aquatic Centre. Before I even got out of my car, a young man came right over and tried to push me out.

When that didn't work, he went back to his own car and got a shovel. I got out and got my own shovel from my trunk so that I could shovel on the opposite side of the car.

Before I could start, up stepped a young lady saying,"I can do that for you."

With the two of them shoveling and then pushing, the car was soon freed so that I could move into a parking space.

Thank you so much to both of these young people. I am sure you are much more representative of today's young people than the ones Neudorf had the unfortunate encounter with.
