A good deed appreciated<\/p>\n

Thank you, Manuel, for helping to pick me up after I slipped and fell in front of the Aspen Golf Course building and the restaurant. You were truly a gentleman to stop, get out of your red four-door pickup truck, to help me stand, as I was not able to get back onto my feet without your help. Again, I say many thanks and more to you.<\/p>\n
