We live close to a interstate. Few yrs ago not any stations on it for 50 miles. A young couple walked up. Said they were out of gas. Wondered if I had any. I said I did. They said up front they were broke. I said never mind it's just gas. It was hot. I said I would take them to their car. It was 10 miles even though car was in sight. They needed to go 120 miles. So the 4 or 5 gal might not be enough. I gave them a $20 dollar bill. They both cried. He gave me a big knife. I will always treasure it!. I have lots of stories like that. Got a card from a couple that ran out of gas over a year ago. Thanking us for helping them. But the best story is.this. It was Christmas eve. A good friend and I were sitting out in the shop. Guy knocked on the door. Said he had a flat and no jack or lug wrench. Well my friend said. Stranger you have come to the right place. So we loaded into a truck and drove across a field to the interstate fence and threw the jack across. It was a perfect 4 door 1965 Plymouth Fury. 3 kids and wife were in the car. Got lugs off and car jacked up. He had spare out and attempted to put it on. It wouldn't fit. He started moaning and beating his head against the ground. My friend said. Buddy this isn't the end of the world. We can find you a spare. He said they were going to Louisville. Had left St.Louis this morning in their truck it had quit. And this nice couple had loaned them this car. They wasn't going to make it to Louisville for Christmas. Dinner with his parents. I thought my horse trailer has Chrysler rims. Went back to house and and swiped one. He tried to pay. But with a story like that!
