Letter to the Editor: Another Kindness in the Storm

I would like to add to your list of acts of kindness during the April 2 snowstorm and days of power outages [April 12 Peninsula Pulse, “Kindness in The Storm: How We Helped Each Other During the Outages”].

I was a Jacksonport poll worker, along with five others, working the evening shift on April 2. Most of us didn’t finish up until 9 pm, so there was a significant accumulation of heavy, wet snow. A saint named Eric Peil began plowing the parking lot about 8 pm. When finished, he came inside to see if anyone needed help getting home. After plowing ahead of another worker to make sure she got home safely, he returned to do the same for me – all the way to the northwest end of Clark Lake! I am quite sure I would not have made it home without his selfless aid.

My husband and I were without power from Tuesday evening to Friday evening. I need to thank Dionicia at US Cellular for recharging my phone on Thursday, and Island Fever for refilling a water jug on Friday. 

We are all so fortunate to live in a county of such caring and giving people!
