Writer grateful for help in time of need

To The Eagle:

Early evening on Monday, March 12, my son and I were returning home to Grays River from Longview. As you may remember, it was a snowy evening. KM Mountain was treacherous and after a harrowing slide, our Jeep was in need of a winch to get us back on the road.

Two Wahkiakum deputies arrived immediately. They calmed and reassured us, then made us laugh a bunch, all while calling a tow truck.

Then for nearly an hour, they sat behind us in their car to protect us from other vehicles.

After some time, Shane Fredrickson and another nice young man from Wahkiakum Tow came to rescue us. We were winched out, then checked underneath our vehicle before we left. Everyone was so supportive and kind at a very stressful time.

Since I don't know everyone's name, I hope all of you who helped us read this and know how much we appreciate you.
