Dear Kathryn,

Fire Lieutenant Patrick O'Lear informed me that on Wednesday evening, July 5th, 2000 at 2156 hours, Engine 1 and Rescue 1 were dispatched to a personal injury accident on Dodge Park Road. Upon arrival they found you attending to a young male who had just been struck by a motor vehicle.

Lieutenant O'Lear and I both want to recognize your unselfish concern and actions. Thank you for taking the time to assist another person in need. We know you had just left a council meeting and could just as easily drove on by the incident as so many do after a difficult day of business. By stopping to help this young man, you acted in the truest spirit of a good samaritan and gave of yourself.

Your Fire Department is proud of your actions and lauds your compassionate response.

Sincerely,
Fire Chief John Childs
City of Sterling Heights
