RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: GOOD SAMARITANS LEND A HAND ON THE ROAD

Four passing motorists recently stopped to pick up 30 landscape timbers that slid out of a pickup truck on busy U.S. 61 at Old Cape Road.

The four men helped pick up the timbers and put them back in the bed of the pickup truck.

"It was angels disguised as men," says Mary Ann Terry of Fruitland, Mo. She was a passenger in the pickup truck, which was driven by a friend. They were returning to Fruitland when the load slid out.

Terry said she didn't get the names of the good Samaritans, including one man who parked his vehicle in the turn lane at the intersection and put on his flashing lights to warn oncoming motorists of the problem.
