With all the bad press surrounding the neighborhood snow shoveling group, I thought I would pass along some positive news to help their cause. As I was trying to dig my car out of the snow and ice that had been plowed into it yesterday evening, two young boys approached, snow shovels in hand, and asked if I needed help. I said no, but, appreciated their offer. They stood there, itching to help, and I explained I didn't have any cash on me. At that point, they not only waived off my decline, but, told me they wanted to help and that I don't need to pay them. They just jumped in and started to shovel. They were helpful beyond belief (I even had to keep an eye on them to make sure they didn't try to push the car when I tried numerous times to pull due to them repeatedly asking me if they should try that as well). They stayed out in the dark and cold and helped until enough snow was cleared to pull the car from the curb. On top of that, I came home to find not only a huge, well-cleared rectangle in front of my house to pull back into but, also, my new snow shovel where I had accidentally left it, in haste, on the sidewalk. I asked how business had been that day and they shrugged and said they made $10. I thought it was nice that they were still in good spirits after what had probably been a long evening for them. Their names were Michael and Neil.if anyone knows where they live, please let me know and don't be afraid of supporting these two with the next snowfall. They work very hard :-) Dana Dana Thomas, E-Certified Prudential Preferred Realty 5801 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15217 Fax: 412-521-4854 Easy/Anytime Wireless Contact: 412-720-0907 <mailto:danathomas.prudentialpreferred@yahoo.com> danathomas.prudentialpreferred@yahoo.com Please Visit My Website: www.CityLifePittsburgh.com AWARDED THE FOLLOWING 2006 CITY OFFICE RECOGNITIONS: Residential Listings Leader In Volume (May), Top Producer(July), Top Residential Sales Associate (July and September), Residential Listings Leader In Volume (July and September), Top Residential Listings Sold Associate (September)
