Help on the Way
by Robert Byerley
| "I
suppose we actually heard them before we saw them. We were sitting on
the porch swing after dinner. We first heard the dogs barking, sirens
wailing, horns honking, wheels clattering and then we saw the cloud of
dust and the flashing lights approaching us at break neck speed. Down
Miller’s hill they raced; across Carson’s Parking lot, over the curb
and onto Elm. Halfway down the block they swerved onto the sidewalk in
front of Mr. Ketterling’s house and that’s where they just about
lost it. They were the "first team" and the call had gone out
for medical assistance as quick as possible. We could see that whatever
was wrong down at the corner of Elm and Third would be taken care of
immediately because, barring another unforeseen loss of steering, help
was on the way."
