I was driving at 7:30 a.m. last week to take the children to Baker School when my truck drive shaft yolk broke and caused my truck to break down in the turning lane at Highway 90 and Antioch Road.
I made the children cross the road to get off the median and be safer on the Tom Thumb side.
Officer Lenny Holloway said he was driving and noticed the children standing there in the cold, then saw me and the wrecker loading my truck.
He stopped, without hesitation, and asked if he could help me.
I said I had my daughter-in-law coming.
He said he was a resource officer and wouldn’t mind taking the children to school to get them out of the cold, and so they wouldn’t be any later to school.
I agreed, he loaded them up and made sure they arrived safe.
What a great guy! He went above and beyond his responsibilities and made sure my kids made it to school safe and sound.
