Did you loan a blanket?

I wish to thank the kind men and women who came to help me after my accident on Niblick Road in Paso Robles on Dec 23. Immediately, two Caltrans workers came across the street, and then others arrived. People called the police and found a chair for me to sit upon while we were waiting.

As I sat there, shivering, I remember a lady wrapping a soft blanket around my shoulders, and I was grateful for its warmth. I wish to return the blanket to its owner(s). If they would call us at 805-226-9093 and ask for Barbara, we could get the blanket back to its rightful owners.

Again, thank you everyone who helped!

Barbara Paape, Paso Robles
