Letter to the editor: Great community
Today, young people from two families in Virgin stopped on their way home from church to ask if I wanted help raking the leaves in front of our home. My first instinct was to say “thanks, I’m almost done,” but I did want help, and here they were, offering. They made short work of raking the leaves in the ditch and on the sidewalk and made our home look neat and tidy again. Thank you so much Brinkerhoffs and Spendloves. You embody the community spirit that I treasure so much in our towns. Believe me, I will pay your kindness forward! Thank you!
—Megan Honer-Orton and Bob Orton, Rockville
