Two Havreites helped stranded visitors

Editor:

A heartfelt thank-you to Paul and Randy for helping Trikers from Iowa.

On July 14, we were traveling through Havre on our way to Glacier National Park. We had serious wheel-bearing troubles on our trike and were just glad that we made it into town by 7 p.m.

Paul Nugent was driving by and saw our distress and offered to help and meet us as the motel we were trying to get in.

He pulled up in his truck and right behind was Randy Rude whom he had called to help out.

They lent us tools, dug right in to find the problem, worked until almost dark and then suggested we take the parts of Nate's Gonna Fix It for repair the next morning.

Employees at Nate's worked together to get the repairs done and get these stranded travelers back on the road west.

These two guys wouldn't take anything for their time and trouble and said we should "pay it forward."

You can be sure we will and hope you will know how grateful we are for the kindness shown to us.
