I for one surely want to compliment you and each of your men for your quick, courteous, and knowledgable service rendered me at the time of my accident Thursday last. This incident was my first need for service of your department but believe me, it will be a long time before I forget that you fellows are there and ready in case of need. Yours sincerely, Paul A. Levernier President
