Alert — and grateful — “06880” reader Lis Hisgen writes:
As a volunteer for the Homes for Hope food pantry, the other day I was carrying a heavy box of groceries across a parking lot.
I tripped on torn-up asphalt, and dropped my keys into a grate.
Not knowing what else to do, I called my Public Works colleague. It was after regular hours, but that didn’t stop Eric Lee from driving back to work to get a magnet.
Another guy, Ben Lee — they’re father and son — also drove back to Westport to help in case they had to remove the grate. Luckily the magnet did the trick, and my keys were rescued!
I’m lucky to have such kind and helpful co-workers.
Eric and Ben Lee: Public Works heroes.
