Letter: Locals help travelers in need

We were traveling through Clarendon Sunday afternoon, April 22, on our way to doctor appointments in Amarillo the following morning. All of a sudden, our pickup died, and we were stranded. As we were trying to decide what to do, three young men came to our rescue.

They pretty much just took over, started making phone calls and we were on our way within the hour. They called a mechanic who came immediately and advised that our diesel would indeed have to go into Amarillo. They then contacted Chadwick’s Towing, which was great because we did not know anyone and it was Sunday afternoon.

It was great to be able to ride into the city also with Cameron and not have to call relatives from afar to come to our aid. We would like to publicly thank these young men and let everyone know what fine young men represented your town that afternoon. They were Chris Blackburn, Channing Maul and Caden Farris. Also, thanks to the mechanic, I believe his name is Greg and to Cameron Taylor of Chadwick’s Towing.

Thanks again, young men, and we appreciate you. God Bless Each of You,

Troy & Charlotte Riddell, Paducah
