Letter: Thanks to Pete's Garage in Sheffield

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I want to commend a wonderful person who works there [at Pete's Garage]. I had a flat tire and only had a few dollars. This young man checked the tire and I was informed that it can't be repaired. He changed my tire with the spare.

I can't thank a person like that enough. You have very nice people living in the Shires. Nobody in Connecticut would do that. Thank you very much sir.
