For the past twenty-five years, my wife Holly and I have returned to Newfoundland to visit family and friends and to visit the many outstanding sites throughout the province. This year we drove and took one of our grandsons, a thirteen year old, on our three week adventure. We were driving on a rainy Sunday afternoon on the Viking Trail, about 150 kilometers south of St. Anthony. We were trying to avoid the many highway potholes and unfortunately we hit a deep one and had a tire blowout. We did not have the correct wheel wrench to remove the blown tire. A few very kind drivers stopped to assist but none had the correct tool either. To our pleasant surprise, a very kind gentleman named Brad Genge from nearby Anchor Point, going in the opposite direction from where we were heading, turned around and stopped to help us. He did not have the correct size socket wrench either, but he then turned around and went back to his home only to return again with his many tools. Finding the right size socket, he proceeded to change our tire. We tried to pay Brad for his services but he refused to accept anything and wished us a Happy Anniversary, which we were celebrating. The next day we went to Maurice's Service Centre in St. Anthony to get a new tire and they did not have one in stock, again the people at this service centre were so very kind and called ahead to a tire centre in Deer Lake which had the correct tire. Everyone we have come in contact with on our Newfoundland adventure have been so kind and considerate. We are so grateful to the local people who assisted us in our time of need. This is truly an example of the kindness and humanity of the Newfoundland people. Don Pottle Dunstable, Massachusetts   Submitted By: NULL
