Article is proof that kindness is contagious

To the editor:

In response to the article "Family's paper trail reaches happy ending": Thank you for the recent article about the recovery of Eulah Detweiler's, my late aunt's, high school diploma. Also, a huge thank you to the Dumey family of Jackson for taking the time and effort to find my mother, Dr. Myra Morris Peo, and return the diploma to her. It was my mother's bridge partner, Ann, who spotted the article and recognized the name.

I have always believed that kindness was contagious, and your article was proof of that.
