I would like to express a sincere THANK YOU to Kerry Howell and an unknown Good Samaritan at H&H Chevron in Townsend.
My girlfriend and I were driving to FL on March 14th when we stopped for gasoline at Kerry's station at exit 58 of I-95 (Rte. 57). While changing into shorts in the restroom I managed to leave my wallet behind. Three hours later I retrieved a message on my phone from Kerry, stating that my wallet had been turned in by a patron (and I didn't know it was gone!)
When we returned to the gas station/convenience store I was floored to be handed my wallet back intact, cash and all. No amount of cajoling would convince Kerry to accept a reward, either for himself or on behalf of the unknown patron.
Yes I lost six hours for my lapse, but I gained so much more - faith that honest people do exist. My whole-hearted thanks go out to Kerry and the unknown patron that turned in my wallet. Ya'll have raised my belief in people and their ability to resist temptation, while giving a perfect example of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
So if you find yourself traveling on I- 95 and need to stop for gas or snacks, please take the Townsend exit and patronize the H&H Chevron Station at exit 58.
