I am writing about an incident that required strength and kindness. During the night, some Halloween pranksters pushed over my trash can as well as that of my neighbor. I am dependent on a walker and am elderly. I could not life the heavy trash can. What to do?

I walked to the street and hailed the next car coming down the road. A young man stopped his car and heard my plea. His name was Khalib. He was in town visiting a relative. He was young, of student age.

I am writing to let folks know that most young people are super human beings.
