Letter of the Day (July 16): Honesty

The other day, I found a note on my windshield informing me that my car had been damaged on the right rear. After checking the damage, I called a person named Dale who'd left the note, and he gave me his insurance information and apologized. He also informed me that he had hit my car (in a public parking lot) two days earlier, but hadn't had a pen or pencil to leave a note, and by the time he got one I had already left the parking lot. He kept checking daily until he saw my car and then left the note. I was overwhelmed by his honesty. It proves to me that there are some really good people in the world. Thank you, Dale.
