The wonderful people of our community are always ready to help

This thought often crosses my mind and I decided it’s time to share it.

We are so fortunate to live in Wrangell. There are times when people carry on vehemently about things they dislike, but when we need each other there’s always tremendous support. The response to the landslide is a prime example.

It seems like we always run into a Wrangellite at the Seattle airport. When we do, it’s like old home week.

Recently, Rod and I were there waiting for our plane which was a couple hours late. I was slowing making my way to the “facility” when someone took my arm and said, “Let me help you.” Of course, it was someone from home. He very patiently helped me to my destination and told me to wait there while he returned with a wheelchair. He brought me to where Rod was sitting and made sure we didn’t need anything else. He put his number in my cell phone just in case. What a relief!

We share some less than desirable weather at times, but we must remember all the wonderful people make up for it.
