Stranded motorist grateful for help

Allen Frew
Port of Entry
I would like to send a letter of thanks to one of your employees. I was traveling alone to meet my parents and husband in Jackpot, Nev., on our way to Elko, Nev.

I did a foolish thing and ran out of gas about six miles from the Flying J gas station out of Twin Falls. Not having a cell phone, all that I could do was start walking back to one of the farmhouses about a mile back.

I was a little nervous, as you never know what kind of people will try and stop to offer assistance. I was so relieved when Dennis Black, with the Idaho Transportation Department turned around and came back to offer assistance. He was nice enough to take me into the Flying J station and we bought some gas, then he returned me to my car and helped get me on the road again.

You will never know how much I appreciated his courtesy and help. He is an asset to your department.
