Letter: Jim Kinn thanks his "snow angels"
Icon viewers:
My snow angels appeared the day after the big snow.
My snow thrower broke down and I needed parts. My truck was buried in snow on the street. I started to shovel it out when Ricky and his sister, Zoey, came out of nowhere and asked, “Do you need help, sir?” They made quick work of getting my truck out. When I told Ricky I was going to get my wallet, he said he didn’t want any money.
It turns out that my angels’ mother was driving them around helping people in need. I didn’t get their last name, but told their mother she should be very proud of her children.
