Mr. Robert Patton, my name is John D. I have a friend who is a TDR Member. I was out in Colarado when my 2000 Dodge 5.9 overheated in the mountains. I called my friend who looked up a local TDR Member in your travele companion, and he gave me a telephone number to call for help. I called the number, and a man named Arlen helped me get to his house.  We worked in his heated garage (0 degrees outside) to fix the problem of a plugged radiator.  I was on my way to California by noon the next day.

I just wanted to say Arlen and his wife were just terrific.  They helped a stranger with their kind generosity and by getting me back on the road.  My thanks to them and your magazine for having such wonderful people who are willing to help a person in distress.

THANK YOU Arlen!
