This is one of those stories where so many things could have gone even worse than they did. It is a story of being betrayed by a friend and then rescued by a total stranger. It's about one person helping another, regardless of the danger. It took place several months ago, but just came to my attention. Jerold tried to defuse a volatile situation, but was caught up in the escalation. I'm glad he is on the mend!

Bystanders team up to lift a burning vehicle off a motorcyclist. (Picture Courtesy WDBO-TV) There are people everywhere who refuse to stand by and let another person face death or injury alone, even though it is not their job to help. This blog honors their courage.

Dafydd Williams: Into the River to Save Another
From my point of view, Mr. Willams did everything right on this one. When a woman disappeared into the cold waters of a flooded river, he first got someone to call for help; he grabbed some flotation, and did all his work while maintaining a grip on something solid. It could still have gone horribly wrong, but this kind of act is what it is all about! Thanks Mr. Williams... well deserved!
