Speakout sums to have so many negative comments these days that I thought an act of kindness should be shared. On Monday, Feb. 15, with snow falling and covering our yard, we, who are senior citizens, were sitting in our living room, watching the snow, when we saw a police car at the end of our drive. A young policeman got out of his car and picked up our trash can, carrying it thourgh the snow to our back door. It was refreshing to see the caring, selfless act of someone giving to others. We appreciated it so much.
