Well met, anonymous neighbor- a true knightly act, and wanted no accolades for doing it.  Thanks for sharing, Sir Brian.

Huzzah! These days people tend to just stand and watch when terrible things happen. Not everyone will leap into action. This is fantastic!

Great story, but it did have the neighbors name in it. :)

Now if only he had been carrying he could have made it a perfect feat. It still is a grand thing he did. Do we know anyone in that section of the Known World who could reach out & thank him?
