This is not a pizza story but needs to be told. As I was driving down Kellogg today I needed to get to a gas station as I was very close to being out of gas. But it happened. I ran out of gas. I was about a quarter of a mile from the Hillside exit and started to head over to Quik Trip when two young gentleman yelled at me and said “hey do you need gas?” I told them I was good but they said we have some in the back of our truck. So they backed up to my old Jeep and helped me to try and get it going but I needed more gas than they had in their gas can. They towed me to Quik Trip and I filled gas and got it started. As a thank you I filled their truck up and their gas cans as they were mowing lawns today. I asked them what they were doing the rest of the day and they said they have one more lawn to mow and then they had homecoming tonight. I asked them where they were going to take their dates for dinner. One said I don’t have a date but he’s taking my sister. I asked him what they were eating and they said pizza. I told them I own a pizza joint and they should come by for dinner. I hope I see them tonight before they go to their dance to celebrate with their friends. It’s kids like these that give us hope that the world is going in the right direction. Cheers to Gavin Shelton and Joseph Sousa from East High! And especially Cheers to their parents! If anyone knows their parents please pass this along to them. Running out of gas made me a happier person today!
***. Update-the boys came by for dinner tonight and Gavin brought his date (Joseph’s sister) and they left with leftovers. Gavin’s grandma came by to say Hi and surprised them.
