Dear Editor,
As I was about to turn the corner from 25th Street to Lonsdale on a very warm day recently, my vehicle experienced a vapour lock.
There is no alternative but to wait five or ten minutes for the engine to cool. The honking quickly began, then a pedestrian called to us, asking what the problem was.
He knew exactly what needed to be done, then motioned to a van behind, saying that he knew the crew in it and would get them to help us around the corner so we could coast to the Chevon station.
Another pedestrian came to my window to make sure we were in neutral, than all three pushed and in no time we were out of the way.
Three noble souls, plus the fourth who had to stay with his van, prevailing over the impatient honkers – never think the world has lost all its heroes.
Larry Dyke,
