Thank you

Joyce Mills would like to thank the owner of Exton Motor Service in Washington Township for his help after a 12-point buck ran into the side of her car last week.

The owner and several customers cut away the plastic that was rubbing her tire, cleaned up all of the plastic and debris that fell inside the fender, tie-wrapped the fender to the frame, and checked out the car for any other potential problems so that she could continue her journey home to central Pennsylvania. They would not accept any money for their time and trouble. “Thank you so much!”
