Dear Editor,

I am writing to commend the actions of a Starbuck resi­dent, Mr. Jack Fletcher. I was tooling along yesterday on Highway 261 on my way to see Palouse Falls when the rod to my gray water holding tank (came) loose, falling to the road surface. I was calling my insur­ance company for roadside assistance when Mr. Fletcher came out of his house to give me a helping hand. He worked for public works in Walla Walla for years and had the necessary jocks and skill to reattach and secure my rod so I could con­tinue on my merry way. What a good Samaritan!

P.S. He was also a wealth of info on the area!
