There Are Still Good People in the World

Jun 24, 2022 | Opinion

Dear Editor:

I just wanted to say there are some really good people left in the world and we met one of them recently on our ride through Accomack County.

We suffered a flat tire near Keller in the rainstorm and a Mr. Marshall Parks, from Parksley, stopped to help us.

He smiled and said, “It’s not fit for a frog,” as we waited for help. Mr. Parks fixed the tire. He was wet to be sure but didn’t mind helping us.

It’s good to know folks like Marshall are still here.
