Dear Editor,
I want to thank, one more time, a motorist who helped me cope with an awkward occurrence at the Jubilee-Kelly intersection on the morning of Wednesday, May 13.
I was on my electric scooter crossing Jubilee, in the middle of the road in front of a couple of cars waiting for me to pass, when I heard a crash behind me. The canopy on the scooter had fallen on the pavement.
A motorist in the lead vehicle quickly left his car, told me to go to the sidewalk and he would bring over the canopy.
Then he said he would park his car and come back to help reattach the canopy. This hadn’t happened before and I wasn’t sure how things fit together. When the motorist returned, he knelt down, found the fitting for the canopy attachment, tightened the bolt, and things were okay once again.
This is an example of how good things, in the way of assistance from others, can happen in Summerland when someone could use some help.
I really appreciated the very willing, prompt, effective help I received.
