We chatted on the way into the city, andwhen I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received aChristmas present from them. A note in it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon Ireturned to my car and found that the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Forddealership –a shop selling cars –was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmenwaiting beside the door.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove apickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrotethem a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever takenthe time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
