Dear Editor:
I’m one of those dinosaurs who doesn’t Facebook or Twitter so I’ll express my gratitude the old fashioned way – in writing.
I am overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me by our UBC students who catch the 49 bus route at Metrotown. I needed to ask someone to help me get my shopping cart on the bus and, again, when I got off the bus. Both times, I was met with such gentlemanly enthusiasm by the two students who helped me, but the one who helped me off the bus went the extra mile and extended his hand to me to assist me as well.
I felt so cared for by these young men, and even if they don’t read my letter of thanks, I just want to say hooray to our young people and many thank yous from an old dinosaur.
Rita Harlton, Burnaby
