How lucky we are in Missoula, Montana

As Rob retold the story I found myself getting emotional, too, but for a different reason. I kept thinking how the inscription on the inside of his ring perfectly embodies how I feel about Missoula.

How lucky we are to live in a town where a total stranger will do something extraordinary for someone he just met.

How lucky we are to live in a place where people help one another out of kindness and compassion, and not for monetary compensation.

How lucky we are to live in a community where we may have different backgrounds, beliefs and values but we still reach out to one another.

And how lucky Missoula is to have people like John Thayer living among us. Thanks to John’s kindness, compassion and perseverance, a lot of perseverance, I am able to tell you this story. John is truly the hero, though I don’t think he believes that; he was just helping out, doing what anyone would have done. I am not so sure.
