Reply #22: When I work nights I would see a women walking late at nights........

[Historic NY]

all kinds of weather every night. A few times during the summer when it was raining I would stop and pick her up...she walked over 6 miles to a motel the next town over..she had no car....didn't make enough for a taxi...she was always gratefull to see my PD car pull up. I've tried to get a couple of other guys to at least drive her to the town line but...you know..they said she could use the walking to lose weight. They really pissed me off...:mad:

Seems her husband got hurt and couldn't work and she was supporting them both. She would get a ride of about 20 miles from her job but they would just drop her off in the center of town. I gave her a couple of different directions so her ride could get her closer to her destination w/o wasting his/her time.

Guess I've spent too much time on my job...when we were supposed to help others out. Sadly some of my collegues will never know the feeling of finding an envelope with a $20 dollar bill, long written off for helping someone out, a carton of cigarettes or just an unexpected Christmas card with a thank you. I'm not a push over, but if you tell me the truth I will help.
